There are few things I find more festive than a warm cup of hot chocolate. It reminds me of skiing all day, caroling and seeing Christmas lights. It is the perfect warm accent to any holiday party. When I am making hot chocolate for a large holiday party, I love having little dollops of whipped cream, measured out and frozen to add to the hot chocolate bar. They are easy to make, on a piece of parchment paper using a can of whipped cream. Simply pipe the whipped cream into cute little towers and freeze. Then you can add them to your hot cocoa or keep them in an airtight container in your freezer for single uses. I can’t lie, they are also super delicious to just eat by themselves. Yum.
One of my absolute favorite hot chocolate flavors is cookies n’ cream. You are combining the delicious warmth of hot chocolate with the sweet flavor of cookies. I have looked and looked for an amazing recipe and I have found my favorite is actually new this year, made by Stephen’s Gourmet. It is the perfect amount cookie and cream. For the perfect cup you will need:
- 3/4 C warm milk (using milk makes it creamier)
- 3 heaping tablespoons Stephen’s Gourmet Cookie N’ Cream Hot Chocolate
- Real Whipped Cream
- 1 Oreo Cookie, crushed
What is your favorite cocoa?
That sounds like heaven to me. I need to try this.
I always love the candycane cocoa. Amazing!
My favorite is the milk chocolate but I'd love to try the peppermint one.
My daughter was talking about this over the weekend.. she would enjoy this treat.
Yummy idea! We've done marshmallows but not whipped cream. I think I need to get some whipped cream.
The frozen whipped cream is such a great idea. That cookies and cream hot cocoa looks amazing.
Freezing the whip cream is such a good idea. I'll need to try that this holiday.
These look sooo good! This would be a nice treat for my kids.
I love Stephens hot cocoa! I really wanna try their orange creme flavor!
Oh yum, I love chocolate. That hot chocolate looks great.
Wow! This is such a great idea. I'll have to this!
Those flavors sound amazing. I would pick one Italian Amaretto and two Candy Cane (one to keep and one to share).
Anything that is Frozen inspired – my daughter is going to love it. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Wow, does that look so tasty…I want a cup right now!
I have never had cookies and cream hot chocolate but after seeing this I want to try some.
I love Stephens. It is my favorite brand of Hot Chocolate – they have so many great flavors and they all have a great rich deep taste. Thanks!
I have never tried peanut butter cup but it sounds amazing! Candycane and chocolate raspberry are old favorites kf mine too…
Hmmm, I think I would choose the candy cane, cookies n cream, and the pumpkin spice. That whipped cream looks delicious!
