But not just any hot chocolate, this is a simple, fast version, only 2 ingredients (not counting the whipped cream that I will get to in a second), comes together in minutes and is LOADED with the unique flavors of that Hazelnut infused Chocolate spread... The legendary Nutella!
BUT WAIT... There's even MORE...
WHISKEY and CINNAMON SCHNAPPS! That's right, the kiddee vesion of hot chocolate gets a Jack Daniel's upgrade. Add a little seasonal Cinnamon and you have something really warming to your heart and soul!
I did top this off with a dollop of fresh made whipped cream. Believe it or not, but there is a recipe for a better whipped cream (see below). Just a little sweeter, and best of all, just a little bit stiffer, with a secret ingredient that makes the whipped cream more stable, making it stay that beautiful consistency longer, even when left out on the counter for an hour or more.
It's been cold outside recently... Snow, ice... conditions perfect for a warm blanket, overstuffed chair, a good book and a cup of Hot Chocolate. Why not make the cup something special? This will warm your soul after that walk gets shoveled!
Enjoy. Keep scrolling down for the easy to follow recipe for the adult chocolate, as well as the whipped cream secret. Pssst... It sure does help if you have a stand mixer...
