Hot Chocolate Float

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

8 ounces prepared hot chocolate

¼ cup ice cream (any flavor)

Whipped cream for garnish

Directions

Use your favorite hot chocolate mix to make a glass (about 8 ounces) of hot chocolate. I use the k-cups for my Keurig but you can also use 8 ounces of water with your favorite hot chocolate packet or 8 ounces of milk and some homemade hot chocolate mix.

Pour an equal amount of the hot chocolate in two mugs. (The pictures shown are one very large mug, but it serves 2.)

Place 1/4 cup (1 scoop) of ice cream in each mug. Top with whipped cream and/or sprinkles and/or chocolate sauce.

Serve immediately.

Notes

For a creamier hot chocolate, use milk with higher fat content.

The creamiest alternative milk I find is oat milk.

To enhance the chocolate flavor, add ½ tsp of pure vanilla extract.

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon and or clove to spice up your hot chocolate (even cayenne pepper).

Use any flavor hot chocolate mix or one of my easy recipes.

Use any flavor ice cream – from the store or one of my easy recipes!
