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:
Instructions:
Start by selecting a medium-sized saucepan. This will allow enough room for all the ingredients to mix without spilling.
Pour the 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
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.
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.
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.
Continue to stir the mixture until it is smooth and all the ingredients are fully incorporated. This should take around 2-3 minutes.
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.
Once the hot cocoa has reached a smooth and creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully pour the hot cocoa into mugs.
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.
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.
