Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Milk
  • ½ cup Hot Chocolate Powder
  • 4-5 Oreos plus more for topping
  • Whipped Topping for serving

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Food Processor
  • Blender
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Begin by pouring 2 cups of milk into a medium saucepan. Set the heat to medium-low. As the milk starts to warm, be attentive, gently swirling it to avoid scorching. The goal is to heat the milk until it's steaming but not boiling.
  2. Once the milk is warm, whisk in ½ cup of hot chocolate powder. Stir continuously until the powder is fully dissolved, creating a rich, chocolatey base. This step is crucial for ensuring a smooth texture without any lumps.
  3. While the milk is becoming chocolatey, take 4 to 5 Oreos and crush them finely using a food processor or blender. The finer the crush, the more integral the Oreo flavor will be in every sip.
  4. After you’ve crushed the Oreos, stir them into the warm hot chocolate mixture. The addition of these cookies not only intensifies the taste but gives a delightful texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth milk.
  5. Finally, serve your hot chocolate in mugs and top it off with whipped topping and a sprinkle of extra crushed Oreos. This final touch adds a wonderful presentation that will impress anyone you’re serving.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
  • Tip 2: Although it’s not typical, you can freeze the hot chocolate in an ice cube tray. Blend the cubes later with milk for a quick treat!
  • Tip 3: This hot chocolate pairs perfectly with cookies, brownies, or even cake for a delightful dessert spread.
  • Tip 4: Feel free to throw in a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of peppermint for added flavor.
  • Tip 5: This recipe is flexible. Feel free to double or halve it depending on your guests.
