Red velvet hot chocolate
Serves 1
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1/2 teaspoon red gel no taste food coloring
- Whipping cream
- Vanilla sugar
Vanilla sugar whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar (no vanilla sugar? Add regular sugar and a drop of vanilla extract)
Directions:
- For whipped cream: Add heavy cream and vanilla sugar to a cold metal bowl. Either whip by hand with whisk or with hand-held mixer until soft peaks form.
- For hot chocolate: In a small pan, combine milk, chocolate morsels and food coloring. Gently simmer until hot and all the chocolate is melted. I like to use a small whisk to make sure everything is incorporated. Top with freshly whipped cream.
