Chestnut Hot Chocolate

By OcadoLifePublished on 14 November 2025Pure comfort and joy in a mug, this Chestnut Hot Chocolate from food writer and editor Caroline Morrish is a rich, dark, chocolatey treat, with puréed chestnut bringing a natural sweetness. To use up leftover chestnut purée, you could whisk it with sugar – and a little rum if you fancy – then fold into whipped cream for a special pud topping.
