Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces hot chocolate
  • ¼ cup ice cream any flavor
  • whipped cream for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Use your favorite hot chocolate mix to make a glass (about 8 ounces) of hot chocolate. I use the k-cups for my Keurig but you can also use 8 ounces of water with your favorite hot chocolate packet or 8 ounces of milk and some homemade hot chocolate mix.
  2. Pour an equal amount of the hot chocolate into two mugs. The pictures shown are one very large mug, but it serves 2.
  3. Place 1/4 cup (1 scoop) of ice cream in each mug. Top with whipped cream and/or sprinkles and/or chocolate sauce.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a creamier hot chocolate: Use milk with higher fat content.
  • The creamiest alternative milk: I find is oat milk.
  • To enhance the chocolate flavor: Add ½ tsp of pure vanilla extract.
  • Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon: or clove to spice up your hot chocolate (even cayenne pepper).
  • Use any flavor hot chocolate mix: or one of my easy recipes.
