Winter is finally here and the holidays are just a few days away! This is the perfect time to create hot chocolate to enjoy with the family. This hot cocoa recipe is simple to make, and has a rich chocolaty flavor. The main ingredient is Hershey’s Spreads chocolate! You can find a jar of Hershey’s Spreads at your local grocer near the peanut butter.
Here’s what you need:
2 cups of whole milk
3 tablespoons of Hershey’s Spreads Chocolate
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
(For the whipped cream)
8oz of heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
sugar & cinnamon to sprinkle on top
First place the milk, chocolate, and vanilla in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk until the Hershey’s Spreads is thoroughly mixed. Make sure not to let the milk boil. Once it’s hot, but not boiling, remove from heat and pour in a mug.
Next you are going to make the whipped cream. Pour 8oz of heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl. Place 1/4 cup of powdered sugar in the whipping cream.
Mix heavy cream and sugar with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This takes about 4 minutes of mixing.
Scoop the whipped cream and place it on top of the hot cocoa already in the mug. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top as a finishing touch and enjoy!
