La Réserve unveils a signature hot chocolate to enjoy as a refined snack.

For its tenth anniversary, La Réserve Paris is spoiling us with its Collection N°3 - Anniversary Edition. Three-star chef Jérôme Banctel and pastry chef Jordan Talbot are unveiling their winterhot chocolatefor the third consecutive year, and this time they're thinking big with two recipes that promise to warm us right down to our toes.

À la carte 

Let's discover the Grande Réserve Hot Chocolate, which combines dark chocolate from Venezuela and milk chocolate from Peru, enhanced by a blend of orange peel, vanilla, cinnamon, and spices. We fell in love with this version with its delicious orange flavor reminiscent of orangettes, with spices that remain subtle and do not overwhelm the other flavors. A real journey in a cup that delicately awakens the taste buds.

The second creation, the Retour en Enfance Hot Chocolate, uses the same base of Venezuelan dark chocolate and Peruvian milk chocolate, but stands out for its gourmet accompaniment: marbled vanilla and chocolate madeleines with a melted chocolate caramel center. A more nostalgic version that takes us straight back to the snacks of our childhood. Both recipes are worth trying, but our favorite is definitely the Grande Réserve.

It's just what we need when it's gray outside.
