Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching until it is hot but not boiling.
- Add peanut butter and chocolate chips: Stir in the creamy peanut butter and dark chocolate chips, whisking continuously until both are fully melted and blended into a smooth, rich mixture.
- Mix in vanilla extract: Add the vanilla extract to the hot chocolate, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, then top each with a generous amount of whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings over the top for a delightful finish.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the quantity of peanut butter or chocolate chips to your taste preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and vegan chocolate chips.
- Whisking continuously helps prevent the milk from burning and ensures smooth blending of ingredients.
- Chocolate shavings can be made by using a vegetable peeler on a chocolate bar.
