Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 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 cant do nuts)
• Homemade Whipped Cream (optional):
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2-3 tsp honey
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• additional peanut butter melted, optional

Directions

• 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.
• Note: if the cocoa is clumping and not dissolving well, you can blend the hot cocoa in a blender.
• 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.
