To achieve the signature richness of May I Hot Chocolate, it’s important to bring the mixture to a boil. Our blend includes corn starch, which only activates and thickens properly when heated to boiling point. If the drink is simply warmed, it may stay thin and won’t reach its full creamy potential. You can bring it to a boil using a stove, microwave, or even a steam wand on your coffee machine—just be sure to stir well and watch closely. Once it bubbles, you’ll get that velvety, indulgent texture that makes every sip unforgettable.

Yes—you can turn May I Hot Chocolate into a decadent cold dessert! Once prepared and brought to a boil (to activate the thickening), simply let it cool to room temperature or chill it in the fridge. It transforms into a rich, pudding-like treat that’s perfect on its own or served over ice or with ice cream. You can also drizzle it over biscuits, layer it with fruit, or use it as a luxurious dip. Whether warm or cold, it’s a versatile indulgence that goes beyond the mug.
