Hot Chocolate Recipes
You may already be a Velvetiser aficionado — aware of how our revolutionary hot chocolate maker can transform rich chocolate flakes into a heavenly, velvet-smooth consistency. Or perhaps you’re about to embark on your very first foray into indulgent bliss and are wondering where to start….
Either way, we’re here to introduce you to the ALL-NEW Velvetiser. That’s right, our treasured hot chocolate maker has had a glow-up. With the ALL-NEW Velvetiser, the cacao drinking experience is more seamless, more sumptuous, and more show-stopping than ever before.
With a refined design, enhanced performance, and that same barista-grade indulgence you adore, the Velvetiser ensures each and every sip provides a moment of bliss for all the senses. Oh, and did we mention this latest incarnation has a cold chocolate function?
The ALL-NEW Velvetiser is paving the way for a new way to enjoy drinking chocolate. Retaining the ancient essence of cacao — revered by the Aztecs and Maya as the drink of the gods — it now arrives, reimagined in a form fit for the modern connoisseur.
While it’s beautifully modern, it still keeps that magical sense of ritual. The InnerPod ridges and custom-designed whisk create a vortex effect, allowing a moment of zen as you watch the milk and drinking chocolate flakes meld and fold into a deeply decadent concoction.
Sleek, elegant, and made to bring a hint of sophistication to any kitchen counter, the ALL-NEW Velvetiser is available in three gorgeous colourways:
Beyond its aesthetic, this design also offers innovative functionality. Simply turn right for a perfectly warmed hot chocolate or left for a cool, velvety-smooth chilled serve. Because luxury needn’t be complex.
This thermodynamic programming allows you to select hot or cold drinking chocolate at the turn of a dial. It ensures the optimal temperatures for sumptuous cacao drinks, allowing the high-quality chocolate notes to shine through.
Our hot chocolate setting reaches 68-70℃, the optimal temperature for bringing cacao’s nuanced notes to the forefront. Meanwhile, the chilled setting gently pulses to ensure the chocolate is swept into the mixture, melding it into an unrivalled smooth consistency, complete with an oh-so lavish crema.
Our ALL-NEW Velvetiser provides a sensory experience, from the blending of the ingredients to the slow pour and the first heavenly sip.
Now you’ve been introduced, let’s take a look at some of our finest drinking chocolate recipes. Some may lead to a comforting drinking experience, while others are a little more unexpected. But what does each idea have in common?
