Santa’s Workshop Cocoa Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Mini marshmallows (for topping)
- Crushed peppermint or candy canes (optional for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Heat the Milk and Cream:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling (about 4-5 minutes).
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Once the milk and cream are warm, whisk in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and sugar (if using). Continue to whisk until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Spices and Flavor:
- Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) to add a warm, cozy flavor to the cocoa.
- Serve the Cocoa:
- Pour the hot cocoa into mugs and top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- For extra holiday magic, sprinkle the top with mini marshmallows, crushed peppermint or candy cane pieces, and chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Santa’s Workshop Cocoa while listening to Christmas carols or reading a holiday story!
Tips:
- If you prefer a richer cocoa, add more heavy cream or use full-fat milk for extra creaminess.
- For an extra indulgent twist, add a splash of Baileys Irish Cream (for adults only) or flavored syrups like caramel or hazelnut.
- For a fun touch, use peppermint-flavored marshmallows or sprinkle a bit of edible glitter to make your cocoa sparkle!
This Santa’s Workshop Cocoa will surely bring festive cheer to your holiday season — a perfect treat to enjoy after a day of holiday activities or as a special treat for Santa himself!
