- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate:
- 2 cups whole, 2-percent, or skim milk
- 1 cup chopped best-quality semisweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons of best-quality Dutched cocoa powder, such as Valhrona
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
How To Make Red Velvet Hot Chocolate with Marshmallow Whipped Cream?
- Whip the Marshmallow Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream and cream cheese until soft peaks form. Fold in marshmallow creme and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Make the Red Velvet Hot Chocolate: Simmer milk in a small pot over medium heat. Add chopped chocolate and cocoa powder, stirring until smooth. Stir in red food coloring and vanilla extract. Whisk until frothy.
- Serve: Pour hot chocolate into cups. Top with large dollops of marshmallow whipped cream.
Recipe Tips:
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, choose high-quality semisweet chocolate. It will make your hot chocolate richer and more decadent.
- Whip the Cream Properly: Be sure to whip the heavy cream and cream cheese until soft peaks form for a fluffy, smooth whipped cream.
- Adjust the Red Food Coloring: If you want a brighter red, add more food coloring. Just a little goes a long way, so start small and adjust.
- Use Whole Milk for Creaminess: Whole milk gives the hot chocolate a creamier texture, but you can also use 2% or skim if you prefer a lighter version.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the hot chocolate right after making it. The whipped cream is fluffiest when fresh.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the leftover hot chocolate cool down to room temperature, then place it in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat before drinking.
