With UK consumers choosing chocolate over desserts but still wanting multi-layered flavours¹, Hotel Chocolat is now bringing this to life in a sippable chocolate form with the launch of Raspberry Cheesecake hot drinking chocolate.
The brand new, limited edition offers a smooth, creamy and surprisingly light recipe crafted from specially paired ingredients of raspberry, yoghurt and mascarpone to deliver an authentic cheesecake flavour for the ultimate summer indulgence.
Yiotis Panagiotou, specialty cocoa chocolatier (product development) at Hotel Chocolat, said: ““I’ve always noticed that cheesecake flavours overperform because they balance indulgence with a bit of sharpness. That got me wondering what would happen if we turned that into a Velvetiser moment.
The goal wasn’t to mimic a cheesecake exactly, but to capture that familiar ‘creamy-with-a-kick’ feeling in a way that makes sense as a warm, comforting drink. It’s basically the after‑dinner pudding people want, just in a cup instead of on a plate.”
Available in-store and online for a limited time only, the latest innovation is priced at £14.95 for a box of 10 sachets, each carefully portioned to pair perfectly with the All-New Velvetiser®. Launching today (7th April) exclusively for VIP.ME members until Monday 13th April when it’ll become available to all.
