Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscoff Hot Chocolate:
- 250 ml Milk (1 Cup): You can use any type of milk you prefer—whole milk, skim milk, or even a dairy-free alternative such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Whole milk will give you a richer, creamier drink, but feel free to choose what works best for your preferences or dietary needs.
- 2 tbsp Biscoff Spread: This is the key ingredient in our hot chocolate! Biscoff spread, often called cookie butter, is made from crushed Biscoff cookies and has a smooth, creamy texture with a spiced, caramelized flavor. If you can’t find Biscoff spread, you can use any other spiced cookie butter or even make your own by blending crushed speculoos cookies with butter.
- 1 tsp Cocoa Powder or Hot Chocolate Powder: For that chocolatey depth! You can opt for cocoa powder if you want a more intense chocolate flavor, or use pre-made hot chocolate powder for an extra sweet drink. If you prefer a richer chocolate experience, feel free to adjust the amount to your liking.
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped Cream: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra creamy and fluffy texture.
- 2 Biscoff Biscuits (Crushed): For a crunchy topping that adds extra texture and flavor to your hot chocolate.
- 1 tbsp Drizzled Biscoff Spread: Because why not add a little extra Biscoff to really elevate the experience? Drizzling some warm Biscoff spread over the whipped cream adds a beautiful finishing touch to your drink.
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Start by pouring 250 ml of your chosen milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Place the pan on the stove over medium to high heat. Stir the milk occasionally to ensure it heats evenly. Keep an eye on the milk, and once it starts steaming but isn’t boiling, remove it from the heat. This is the perfect time to start adding the Biscoff spread and cocoa powder.
- Add the Biscoff Spread and Cocoa Powder: Now that your milk is heated, add 2 tablespoons of Biscoff spread and 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder (or hot chocolate powder) to the pan. Use a whisk to stir the mixture until the Biscoff spread and cocoa powder have fully dissolved into the milk, creating a smooth, silky mixture. Make sure there are no lumps, and the drink is completely combined.
- Reheat the Mixture: Return the pan to the stove over low to medium heat. Stir the hot chocolate occasionally as it warms back up. Wait for the mixture to start bubbling gently or steaming once again. Keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning. This should only take a minute or so. You’ll notice the drink becoming richer and more aromatic as the flavors meld together.
- Pour and Top: Once your hot chocolate is nice and steamy, pour it into your favorite mug. Now for the fun part—adding toppings! You can top your Biscoff Hot Chocolate with a generous swirl of whipped cream for extra creaminess. Then, drizzle some more Biscoff spread on top for a sweet, gooey finish. Finally, sprinkle the crushed Biscoff biscuits on top for a little crunch and additional flavor. These toppings make the drink feel extra indulgent and add a fun texture contrast to the creamy base.
- Serve and Enjoy: Now that your Biscoff Hot Chocolate is ready, it’s time to relax and enjoy! Take a sip and let the sweet, spiced flavor of the Biscoff spread combine with the rich chocolate, all wrapped up in the smooth milk. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy during a winter afternoon or to serve to guests when they need a cozy treat.
Notes
- Don’t Let the Milk Boil: It’s essential to avoid boiling the milk, as this can cause it to scorch or curdle. As soon as you see steam rising from the milk, remove it from the heat and add the other ingredients.
- Stir Continuously: To prevent the Biscoff spread and cocoa powder from clumping, be sure to stir continuously as you add them to the milk. This will help them dissolve fully, giving you a smooth, velvety drink.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer your hot chocolate a little sweeter, feel free to add a bit more Biscoff spread or sweetener to taste. Some people prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, so you can also adjust the amount of cocoa powder or hot chocolate mix accordingly.
- Make It Dairy-Free: If you’re dairy-free, you can easily swap the milk for a non-dairy alternative. Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk are great options. You can also use dairy-free whipped cream for topping to keep the whole drink plant-based.
- Add a Pinch of Spice: For a little extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the drink before serving. This will give your hot chocolate an extra layer of warmth and spice that complements the Biscoff flavor beautifully.
