"The first thing that you might notice with Hani’s hot chocolate is the cloud-like dome of creme anglaise custard, whimsically called “schlag” by the staff, which tops the petite cup. For co-owner and former Gramercy Tavern pastry chef Miro Uskokovic, the challenge with large marshmallows is getting past it to the drink itself, which in Hani’s case is a rich dark-and-milk recipe with a hint of maple for warmth. The vanilla custard dome adds a cool and lush note and should be attacked quickly to get the maximum effect." - John Tsung
