Ingredients
Scale
Hot Chocolate Base
- 3 Oreo cookies, cream filling removed and reserved
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Extra Oreo crumbles for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Oreos: Carefully remove the cream filling from the Oreo cookies and set these fillings aside for later use.
- Heat Ingredients: In a saucepan over low to medium heat, combine the Oreo cookies (without filling), milk, and granulated sugar. Whisk occasionally to help the cookies dissolve and prevent burning.
- Thicken Hot Chocolate: Continue to whisk the mixture as it heats. Initially, it will remain liquid for a few minutes, but eventually, it will thicken suddenly into a creamy consistency.
- Add Cream Filling: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the reserved Oreo cream filling until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, enriching the drink’s flavor and texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, top with whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle extra Oreo crumbles on top for added crunch and visual appeal. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a richer and creamier hot chocolate; for a lighter version, substitute with low-fat milk or plant-based milk alternatives.
- Ensure to whisk gently but continuously to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
- Removing the cream filling separately helps to better control the sweetness and texture of the drink.
- You can adjust the sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a thicker drink, you can simmer the mixture a bit longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe serves one; scale ingredients up for multiple servings.
