Ingredients

  • 4 cups non-fat Fairlife milk, or preferred milk
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Whipped Cream, optional
  • Cinnamon, optional adds some cozy depth of flavor

Additions for Pumpkin Spice Version

  • 1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus more for topping)

Instructions

White Chocolate and Marshmallow Cream Hot Cocoa

  • Pour milk into a pot over medium heat. Heat until warm but not boiling.
  • Add the marshmallow cream and whisk occasionally, until the cream has melted.
  • After about 5 minutes, incorporate the white chocolate chips. Stir frequently with a whisk to prevent burning.
  • Once the white chocolate has melted, taste test. If it's not hot enough, turn to low and stir occasionally. Pour into four glasses, top with whipped cream and mini marshmallows. Enjoy!

White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Version

  • Pour milk into a pot over medium heat. Heat until warm but not boiling.
  • Add the marshmallow cream and whisk occasionally, until the cream has melted.
  • After about 5 minutes, incorporate the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and white chocolate chips. Stir or whisk frequently to prevent burning. Once the white chocolate has melted, taste test. If it's not hot enough, turn to low and stir occasionally.
  • Pour into four glasses, top with whipped cream, additional pumpkin pie spice and mini marshmallows. Enjoy! Use a spoon to put marshmallow fluff on the rim of the glass and dip into sprinkles for a delicious, fun and decorative touch.

Notes

  • Best if consumed immediately, however, you could store in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave to a temperate of 165 degrees F.
  • Keep a close eye on the hot cocoa while it's cooking to prevent burning.
  • To Make It More Sweet: Add even more white chocolate chips and/or marshmallow cream.
  • To Make It Less Sweet: Use 1/4 cup of marshmallow cream.
Nutritional information is just an estimation, but I try to be as accurate as possible! Calculated for the white hot cocoa (pumpkin spice would be about 200 calories).
