Create “hygge” with a cocoa bar

Winter is the time for hot drinks, and nothing beats a fragrant cup of hot cocoa with lots of whipped cream and lots of imaginative and colorful toppings. It looks great and appeals to both big and small cocoa lovers.

With us, we have created two fantastic approaches to the ultimate cocoa experience: DIY, where you can mix your own hot cocoa variant and add your favorite toppings, or the ready-made variant, where your guests can easily and quickly pour from a thermos or pot.

Whether it’s for your own private winter party, or whether you want to create an extra festive feature in the canteen, in your café or restaurant, a cocoa bar is a sure winner. Pamper your guests and create some coziness on a bitterly cold winter’s day and watch the magic spread.

A cocoa bar can also be moved outside… and should you be lucky enough to live in a place where there is snow, just let the white fluff add to the magic.

Ready-mixed hot cocoa

Preparation:

  1. Make a large batch of hot cocoa and pour into a thermos or serve it in a pot set on a heater. Of course, you choose which kind of cocoa powder you want to use.

    For 1 liter of cocoa we have used:
    230 g Hot Cacao Truffle powder (5 scoops)
    · 800 ml. hot water
    · 200 ml. warm milk
    (if you want to make a vegan cocoa, use plant-based milk and leave out water).
  2. Mix cocoa powder and warm water and milk in a saucepan or in a jug. Use a whisk or a stick bender to whisk the powder well into the liquid.
  3. Make sure the cocoa is hot and heat the thermos with hot water before pouring the cocoa into the thermos. In this way, you ensure the perfect serving temperature.

Setup:

  1. Place the thermos centrally for easy access to guests or customers.
  2. Offer a selection of mugs, stir sticks or spoons as well as napkins.

The advantages:

  • Fast and convenient: Guests or customers can serve themselves quickly and easily.
  • Consistency: Ensures that every cup has the same delicious taste.

Whether you prefer DIY or pre-mixed, the key to a successful cocoa bar is to offer variety and quality.
