Our Blossoming Hot Chocolate, with a marshmallow flower than blooms when it’s placed into a cup of our homemade hot chocolate, revealing a little bonbon surprise inside. My favorite part is waiting for the marshmallow flower to melt a bit once it blooms, so the hot chocolate gets a silky frothy marshmallow foam on top. 🌸☕️ Served in Soho and now @dominiqueansella too.
