Milky Way Hot Chocolate Recipe
This Milky Way hot chocolate is a deliciously indulgent twist on a classic treat, featuring the creamy, caramel, and chocolatey flavors of the popular candy bar. Perfect for a cozy night in or as a special treat for any occasion!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 Milky Way candy bar (2.05 oz size), chopped into small pieces
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra Milky Way pieces or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Heat the Milk and Cream:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges (do not let it boil).
2. Melt the Milky Way:
- Add the chopped Milky Way candy bar to the hot milk and cream mixture. Stir constantly until the candy completely melts into the liquid, creating a smooth, chocolatey base.
3. Mix in Cocoa Powder and Sugar:
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar (if using), ensuring the mixture is smooth and well combined. Stir until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved.
4. Add Vanilla Extract:
- Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
5. Serve:
- Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug and top with whipped cream.
6. Optional Garnish:
- For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle with chocolate syrup, sprinkle with chopped Milky Way pieces, or add some chocolate shavings for garnish.
Tips:
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference. If you like a richer, sweeter flavor, feel free to add a little more sugar.
- Vegan Option: Use a dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk) and non-dairy whipped cream to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Add a Little Salt: A small pinch of salt can enhance the flavors and balance out the sweetness.
This Milky Way hot chocolate is a decadent, comforting drink that’s perfect for warming up during cold weather or enjoying a treat on a special occasion. Enjoy the rich, creamy goodness! ☕🍫
