New York’s hot chocolate season has officially found its signature drink. Frenchette Bakery’s beloved hot chocolate is back, and it’s arriving with the kind of topping that makes an ordinary cup of cocoa look seriously underdressed: a brûléed marshmallow.
Available at all Frenchette Bakery locations, the rich, comforting drink comes topped with your choice of a vanilla or chartreuse marshmallow, toasted until beautifully caramelized. Think velvety hot chocolate meets campfire nostalgia, with a decidedly Parisian bakery sensibility.
And yes, it’s every bit as photogenic as it sounds.
A Hot Chocolate Worth Leaving the House For
Frenchette has built a following for its thoughtful approach to classic bakery favorites, and its seasonal hot chocolate is no exception. The combination of rich chocolate and a toasted marshmallow topping makes a compelling case for taking a break from iced coffee — at least until the temperature climbs again.
The brûléed finish adds a little crunch and caramelized sweetness, while the choice between vanilla and chartreuse gives customers an opportunity to make the cup their own.
It’s the sort of winter treat that makes walking around New York in the cold feel considerably more appealing.
Take the Frenchette Hot Chocolate Home
Can’t get enough after the first cup? Frenchette is also selling its signature hot chocolate in 10-ounce tins, so fans can bring a little bakery magic home.
The tins make an especially tempting addition to a winter pantry — or a thoughtful gift for anyone who considers hot chocolate a food group.
There’s just one catch: the drink and tins are available daily until sold out, so waiting too long could mean missing out.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick warming-up break or stocking up for a cozy night at home, Frenchette Bakery is giving New Yorkers another reason to embrace hot chocolate season. Marshmallow torches optional, enthusiasm mandatory.
