Ingredients
Hot Chocolate
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- 2 ounces walnut liqueur
Whipped Cream
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons walnut liqueur
- ½ teaspoon confectioners' sugar
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
- Heat milk on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Add the walnut liqueur.
- In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream, walnut liqueur, confectioners' sugar, and maple syrup. Whip until stiff peaks form.
- Top with maple whipped cream or marshmallows.
Notes
- As always, you can make this a non-alcoholic version by omitting the liqueur. The kiddies and grown-ups alike will have fun with this holiday drink.
- Chilling the bowl and beaters before adding the ingredients makes it easier to make the whipped cream since cream whips best when cold.
