This CRACKED LATTE trend is a delightful mess!

Ingredients

• 100 g Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa, high-quality, for tempering)
• 250 ml Whole Milk (Cold, for a creamy base)
• 15 g Granulated Sugar (Optional, adjust sweetness to taste)
• as needed Ice Cubes (Fill two serving glasses)
• pinch Sea Salt (Enhances chocolate flavor)
• 1 tsp Cocoa Powder (Optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Temper the Chocolate

   Finely chop the dark chocolate, melt it in a double boiler to 45°C (113°F), then remove from heat and stir until it cools to 31°C (88°F) to achieve a glossy tempered finish.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 45°C then 31°C

2. Warm the Milk

   In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it reaches 70°C (158°F), just below boiling.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 70°C

3. Mix Chocolate with Milk

   Pour the warm milk over the tempered chocolate and whisk vigorously until fully incorporated and smooth.

   Time: PT2M

4. Add Sweetener and Salt

   Stir in granulated sugar and a pinch of sea salt until dissolved.

   Time: PT1M

5. Fill Glasses with Ice

   Place a generous amount of ice cubes into two serving glasses.

   Time: PT2M

6. Pour Over Ice

   Slowly pour the hot chocolate mixture over the ice, allowing it to chill and create a frothy top.

   Time: PT1M

7. Add Cracked Chocolate Shards

   Break a small piece of the tempered chocolate into irregular shards and place them on top of the drink; they will crack and melt slightly, creating a crunchy texture.

   Time: PT2M

8. Serve Immediately

   Enjoy the cracked iced hot chocolate while the chocolate shards are still crisp.
