Ingredients

200ml milk
½ tbsp cocoa powder
100g hollow chocolate egg (milk or dark), broken into small pieces
2 tbsp whipped or squirty cream
25g mini chocolate eggs, sugar-coated chocolate buttons or beans, or more chocolate egg, broken into small pieces
1 tbsp mini marshmallows

Method

Pour boiling water from the kettle into a heatproof mug to warm it up. Heat the milk and cocoa in a small pan, or in blasts in the microwave, until steaming. Discard the hot water in the mug, and tip in the chocolate egg pieces. Pour over the hot milk. Stir for 30 seconds or until the chocolate has melted. Top with the cream, sprinkle over the mini eggs or broken egg pieces and marshmallows to serve.
