Milk chocolate and peanut butter hot cocoa

Indulge in a comforting and decadent treat with this Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa. Perfect for chilly days or as a luxurious dessert, this rich and creamy beverage combines the classic flavors of milk chocolate and peanut butter into a delightful blend that will warm you from the inside out.

Ingredients:

2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
3/4 cup milk chocolate
170g
1/3 cup peanut butter
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Saucepan:
Start by selecting a medium-sized saucepan. This will allow enough room for all the ingredients to mix without spilling.
2. Combine Milk and Cream:
Pour the 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
3. Heat the Mixture:
Gently heat the milk and cream mixture, stirring occasionally to prevent the dairy from scorching at the bottom. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling; small bubbles will start to form around the edges of the saucepan.
4. Add the Chocolate:
Once the milk and cream mixture is hot, add the 3/4 cup of chopped milk chocolate or chocolate chips. Stir continuously with a whisk or spoon to help the chocolate melt evenly into the liquid.
5. Incorporate the Peanut Butter:
Add the 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the peanut butter is fully melted and integrated into the hot cocoa.
6. Ensure Smooth Consistency:
Continue to stir the mixture until it is smooth and all the ingredients are fully incorporated. This should take around 2-3 minutes.
7. Check and Adjust Heat:
Reduce the heat to low and let the hot cocoa simmer for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together nicely. Be careful not to let it boil.
8. Serve:
Once the hot cocoa has reached a smooth and creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully pour the hot cocoa into mugs.
9. Optional Garnishes:
For additional indulgence, top your hot cocoa with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings. A drizzle of melted peanut butter can also be a delightful finishing touch.
10. Enjoy:
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy, rich and delectable milk chocolate and peanut butter hot cocoa!

Tips:

- Use high-quality milk chocolate for the best and richest flavor.

- For a thicker consistency, you can adjust the ratio of milk to heavy cream.

- Make sure to stir continuously while melting the chocolate and peanut butter to avoid burning.

- For a frothy texture, use a whisk or a handheld frother before serving.

- Top your hot cocoa with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of peanut butter for an extra special touch.

Savor each sip of this luscious Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa, a perfect balance of smooth chocolate and creamy peanut butter. Whether you're relaxing at home or entertaining guests, this heavenly drink promises to bring joy and warmth to any occasion.
