On the first day of the monster snow storm of 2014, Eric and I went for a walk before the negative temperatures set in. When we got back we wanted something yummy to warm us up so I found this amazing hot chocolate recipe and I added to it.
If you want the original recipe, go here.
First, I had to scale it down because it was only Eric and I. Second, I wanted it right then and there so I had to make it on the stove not the crockpot. Oh, and I had to add Baileys to give us that extra warmth on the cold winter night. I made it in my wonderful new lodge cast iron pot!
Oh, and it was easy!
Then I added homemade whipped cream on top which was WAY easier than I ever expected with my beautiful pink Kitchen Aid.
Here is my recipe
2 1/2 Cups Milk
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup White Sugar
1/2 Cup Hot Water
4 shots of Bailey's (optional)
1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
1. In medium sauce pan heat up sugar, cocoa powder, and water over medium-low heat until it is smooth.
2. Add milk and Bailey's and heat until it is the desired temperature.
3. While it is heating, put heavy whipping cream in a bowl and mix it with a stand mixer or hand mixer until it is cream.
4. Put in fun fancy mugs (ours are from our dear friend Lizzy) and enjoy!
