Where to find ingredients
Skimmed milk and cornflour can be found in any standard British supermarket. For the condensed milk, check the baking aisle or the 'World Foods' section under the Latin American category. Cocoa powder is widely available in the baking or tea and coffee aisles. If you prefer a deeper flavour, you can use a high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder, though standard supermarket cocoa works perfectly fine for this traditional Brazilian style recipe.
Preparation method
- Place all the ingredients, except for the cinnamon, into a blender
- Blitz well until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined
- Pour the liquid into a saucepan

- Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and reaches your desired thickness

- For an extra indulgent touch, feel free to top it with a generous dollop of whipped cream
Observations
Looking for the ultimate winter warmer? This recipe is a firm favourite for those chilly evenings when you crave something rich and indulgent. The secret to that signature silky texture is a splash of cornflour, which gives the drink its perfectly smooth and satisfying consistency.
