Thanks to fall break at my alma mater, my little cousin is home for fall break! And she loves Pinterest just as much as I do! We decided to make a celebratory pinterest drink since we were getting to spend time together! We found the red velvet hot cocoa recipe Here. Now, usually when I try recipes...I'm pleased with how they turn out....but this one was FABULOUS!
Seriously. This was heavenly. Yes, it was absolutely terrible for you...but it was DELICIOUS! The best part is the cream cheese whipped cream on the top!
(the photos aren't as great as I normally would like...but we did it at night!)
It makes about 4-5 cups of cocoa...so get ready to share it with friends!
4 cups whole milk
1 dash water
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. red food coloring
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 - 4 tbs. whipped cream cheese, room temperature
With a mixer, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Whip until almost peaks form.
Then add the cream cheese and whisk until there are peaks
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Add a bit of water and the chocolate chips, constantly stirring gently. (we had trouble melting the choc. chips...so I would suggest melting them a bit fist!)
Then add the red food coloring and stir. Keep stirring, that way it doesn't burn!
Then top it with your whipped cream...DELICIOUS!

I will the be first one to admit that I am addicted to Pinterest & then I will also admit that I have not seen that cute little recipe. It looks so delish. I cannot wait to try it. Hope you two have tons of fun together :) Have a great weekend!
that looks delicious!!! ughh but i don't have a mixer, do you know if i can use a blender instead?
I need to place some kitchen essentials on my christmas list this year it seems.
This does look good!
To Carrie--I don't think I'd use a blender for this. you can buy cream already whipped, which is probably your best bet. Do you have a wire whisk? once you've let the cheese soften some you can probably fluff it up with a whisk...or else just skip that step altogether and gently fold it into the whipped cream. hope that helps? :)
This is ironic because i actually started following YOUR blog after I repinned someone's pin with your Starbucks Caramel Apple Cider recipe! I marched in there with confidence and requested a bottle and sweetly asked for a pump just like you suggested and now I make myself a mug EVERY day!!
