The Best Hot Chocolate In London | Best Of The Best | Food Insider

I don't get the purposely spilling chocolate outside the cup. Such a waste...

[@yourdaddyonceler1239]

They want you to lick the cup clean. Similar to licking the plate clean. To show that you like it. However, people reuse those cups. So, it sounds gross. If I lick a cup like that, it would be if I do it myself with a cup I use daily at home. Lmfao.

I think Dark Sugars should’ve won because they still make it a but fancy with the shavings but it quickly melts into the drink. It also is good for sitting inside and walking around.

[@klear19634]

I thought mamasons was better for carrying around since dark sugars is top heavy at first and if ur traveling around with it, because the shreds are so paper thin, the wind will be ur enemy

[@Adam-xe5xm]

tbh thats not a good way of deciding which one is the best. Only thing that really matters is taste, at least me to me. If it taste good enough i dont mind a bit of mess or hassle. It doesn't have to be an every day drink akin to a morning coffee. It can be something you have on occasion as a treat, especially considering the sugar content in these drinks, so the practicality of walking around with it isnt a factor.

[@prettynerd4779]

Dark sugars looks good, I ranked them at #2 but that Said Dal.. looks next level.. when they poured the 3 different chocolates around the cup.. I was like oooohh I have to do that at a holiday party one year. .

[@dogsenseforu301]

Looks like an Italian hot chocolate (part custard) that Carluccios (RIP) used to do in small cups as it was incredibly rich. It was awesome esp when you dipped in a croissant or some such. The amount in those huge bowl cups would seriously challenge most individuals....And if I do say so myself, I am pretty adept at shovelling fair quantities of the sweet and rich! Happy Hot Chocolate hunting.

[@marshe2244]

Its not. Here in italy, the hot chocolate is thicker than U.S. hot chocolate and its better

[@draugen6307]

Italian hot chocolate is amazing. It's like a slightly thinner American chocolate pudding, and is challenging to drink in quantities as much as thinner hot cocoa. Also doesn't help that it's rich. But if you serve it with brioche bread to dip in, it makes a great desert.

you could always make it. the dark sugar one is hot chocolate with homemade whip cream and then shavings of various chocolate flavors dumped on top. the said dal one being italian gives a melted chocolate and hazelnut desert approach, either make something similar or just find italian desert that such is based off of. the mamas son one mentioned a lot in the replies is a somewhat popular asian desert (supposedly mostly and originally philippine) and despite it probably shown in the video as having the milk and cream mixture heated, many are saying supposedly that its actually cold but this is in london and considered to be hot chocolate (they even state it to be for the winter). the chin chin desert club one is just a rich hot chocolate (like taking the idea of said dal but with the originality of dark sugars approach to basic hot chocolate, and then make a part of it special like marshmellow) and then adding a big blog of like fresh marshmellow fluff or melted marshmellow (instead of smaller regular marshmellow with whip cream or the idea of whip cream on hot chocolate in general), and then instantly browning/toasting/caramelizing it to give a slight soft outer crunch and inner melted marshmellow, with a certain flavor powder on top which they use cocoa powder.
