How to Make Fireside Chat

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until steaming, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and add the chopped white and milk chocolate. Let stand for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  3. Whisk the mixture until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
  5. Stir in the espresso (or strong brewed coffee) and Frangelico (if using).
  6. Serve immediately in pre-warmed mugs. Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.
