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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix in vanilla extract: Add the vanilla extract to the hot chocolate, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavor.
  4. 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.
