- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Total Time: 5 mins
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk (I prefer whole milk but choose your favorite)
- 2 Tbsp baking cocoa, unsweetened
- 2–4 Tbsp honey (depending on how sweet you prefer)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter or almond butter (use sunbutter if you can’t do nuts)
Homemade Whipped Cream (optional):
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2–3 tsp honey
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- additional peanut butter melted, optional
Instructions
- Warm the milk in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add the cocoa, honey, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Whisk well as you continue to heat until desired temperature. Do not boil.
- For the homemade whipped cream (optional but so good & recommended!), use a hand held mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment and beat the whipping cream on high for about 5 minutes. As the cream begins to thicken, slowly pour in the honey and vanilla extract. Whisk until preferred consistency. Spoon the whipped cream over your hot cocoa.
- Optional: melt and drizzle a little peanut butter over the whipped cream.
Notes
If the cocoa is clumping and not dissolving well, you can blend the hot cocoa in a blender.
