Mix. For the Hot Chocolate: In a little saucepan, bring pistachio milk to a simmer over a mid-sized flame. Add white chocolate and beat constantly till chocolate is melted, around 1 minute. Turn off heat. Off heat, beat in pistachio cream till everything is uniformly mixed. Taste and add salt till it tastes right if wanted. Keep to one side while preparing cold foam. For this Cold Foam: In a little jar or measuring cup, use one hand-held milk frother or stick blender to beat half-and-half till light plus airy like sea foam plus just barely flowing, 30 to 60 seconds. Alternatively, use one personal blender plus pulse for a few seconds till light and airy. Tip pistachio hot chocolate in 2 mugs and top with cold foam. Eat at once.
Storage
Keep covered and eat within a few days; freeze leftovers if the dish allows it.
EU nutrition claims
- Low salt: 0.15 g salt per 100 ml (limit ≤ 0.3 g)
Per 100 ml of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 253 ml a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
Caffeine · Free sugars
- Per serving: about 0 mg caffeine (serving: 1 cup (30 g white chocolate)). Source: 30 g white chocolate × USDA FDC SR Legacy #167571 (white chocolate, 0 mg/100 g).
- Scaling: making more servings does not change the caffeine in each serving; what counts is how many servings you drink in a day. 1 serving: 0 mg · 2 servings: 0 mg · 3 servings: 0 mg · 4 servings: 0 mg.
- General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. 1 serving = 0 % of 400 mg. EFSA
7.2 g per serving
14.4 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 28.8 % of the ideal 25 g
Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
