Hot Chocolate for adults!

Stout Hot Chocolate

Because you wanna be cozy and warm but you’re still an adult!

What you need:

For the Hot Chocolate:

• 1 cup Heavy Cream • ½ cup Milk • ½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips • 1 cup Chocolate Stout (to remove alcohol, see note below) • 2 tbs Sugar (if desired)

For The Whipped Cream:

• 1 cup Heavy Cream • 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar • 2 tbs Stout

What you need to do:

1. In a pan over medium high heat, add the cream, milk and chocolate chips. Stir until melted, about 5 minutes.

2. Remove from heat, stir in the beer. Depending on your personal preference and the level of bitterness in the beer you used, taste and determine if you want it sweeter, add in the 2 tbs of sugar for a higher level of sweetness.

3. Return to heat and stir until desired temperature is reached (Usually between 140 and 160 degrees F).

4. To make the whipped cream, add all whipped cream ingredients to a stand mixer, whip on high until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.

5. Serve hot chocolate topped with whipped cream
