Hot Vanilla - A Hot Chocolate Alternative




I love all things vanilla and when I heard of a hot vanilla instead of a hot chocolate, I just had to give it a try. I tried it without the chocolate cream topping just because it was quicker and cheaper to make, but I'm sure it would be even better with the chocolate cream. This is a great cold-weather treat and is sure to be a favorite with the kids.

Hot Vanilla

1/2 cup of whipping cream
1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup
Dash of cinnamon


1 cup of milk (per hot vanilla)
2 teaspoons of sugar (per hot vanilla) (I used about 3 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (per hot vanilla) (I used almost 3/4 to 1 teaspoon)

1. Start with the topping. In a medium bowl, whip 1/2 cup of whipping cream until it's frothy. Add 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup and a dash of cinnamon, then continue to whip the mixture until everything is well blended and peaks form. Makes enough to top about 6 drinks.

2. For each hot vanilla, microwave 1 cup of milk and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a mug for 90 seconds. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Top with a dollop of chocolate cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a dash of cinnamon.

Are you a good person?
