  2. 2

    Whisk everything together until well incorporated before turning on the heat.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra depth of flavour, swap the cocoa powder for 60 g of melted 70% dark chocolate. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a bain-marie before serving.
