Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 Creme Eggs, chopped
- Marshmallows for topping
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 chopped Creme Eggs, marshmallows for topping, and chocolate shavings for garnish.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of milk and place it over medium heat. Allow the milk to warm up gently, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching on the bottom.
- Once the milk is warm but not boiling, add the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the saucepan. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and the milk is smooth.
- Next, add the chopped Creme Eggs to the saucepan. Continue to whisk the mixture until the Creme Eggs have melted and fully incorporated into the hot chocolate, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- After the Creme Eggs are melted, taste the hot chocolate. If you desire additional sweetness, you can add a bit of sugar or sweetener according to your preference.
- Once the hot chocolate is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully pour the hot chocolate into two mugs, filling them to your desired level.
- Top each mug with a generous handful of marshmallows, allowing them to float on the surface of the hot chocolate.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the marshmallows for garnish, adding a delightful visual appeal and a bit of extra chocolate flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Creme Egg Hot Chocolate!
Tips
- Choose the Right Milk: For an ultra-creamy texture, consider using whole milk or even a combination of milk and cream. If you prefer a dairy-free option, almond or oat milk works wonderfully too!
- Whisk Well: Ensure that you whisk the cocoa powder thoroughly into the warm milk to avoid any lumps. A smooth mixture is key to a luxurious hot chocolate.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Taste your hot chocolate before serving! Depending on your preference and the sweetness of the Creme Eggs, you may want to add a little sugar or sweetener to enhance the flavor.
- Experiment with Toppings: Don’t stop at marshmallows! Try adding whipped cream, crushed cookies, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special touch.
- Serve Immediately: Hot chocolate is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve it right after preparation to ensure that every sip is warm and comforting.
