Equipment

• 1 saucepan

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups whole milk
• ¼ cup unsweetened coca powder
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup bourbon
• Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

 

• Warm the Milk: Begin by warming the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil; we want it hot but not scalding.
• Mix in Cocoa and Sugar: Whisk in the cocoa powder and granulated sugar gradually. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
• Add Chocolate Chips: Introduce the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the mix. Stir continuously until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture achieves a velvety consistency.
• Incorporate Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate's depth and add a layer of aromatic sweetness.
• Blend in Bourbon: Now, for the star of the show – bourbon. Pour in your chosen bourbon, stirring gently to incorporate. Adjust the amount based on your preference for that delightful boozy kick.
• Serve: Pour your Wintery Bourbon Hot Chocolate into mugs, leaving room for toppings.
• Garnish and Enjoy: Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. The whipped cream will melt into the hot chocolate, creating a creamy, luxurious texture.
• Sip and Savor: Find your favorite cozy spot, wrap your hands around the mug, and savor each sip of this comforting, wintery delight.
