Ingredients
Scale
Hot Chocolate Base
- 2 cups Nonfat Milk (substitute any milk for dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated White Sugar (can substitute with honey or agave syrup)
Cookies and Cream
- 1 cup Finely Crushed Oreos (use food processor or crush in a bag)
Topping (Optional)
- 1 cup Whipped Cream (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, gently combine the nonfat milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously to prevent scorching and ensure the cocoa dissolves fully. Heat for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Stir in the finely crushed Oreos into the hot chocolate base. Mix until they are mostly dissolved, adding a rich cookies and cream flavor and texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mugs. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream if desired, creating a creamy and decadent finishing touch.
Notes
- You can use any milk variety such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- For natural sweetness, replace granulated sugar with honey or agave syrup.
- Crushing Oreos finely helps them dissolve better into the hot chocolate for a smooth texture.
- Whipped cream topping is optional but adds a lovely creamy contrast.
- Serve immediately to enjoy at its warmest and most flavorful.
