Creamy, smooth and comforting! Hot chocolate is the best cure for winter blues.
Winter in Minnesota can definitely be as miserable as everyone says. Sometimes the only thing that gets me through the cold, dry, snowy days is a ton of french fries and a hot chocolate.
Once again, coconut whipped cream comes to the rescue! It’s the perfect way to top off a cup of chocolatey goodness and make it even creamier than it already is.
When I’m super cold, I like to curl up on the couch with my dogs, a blanket and a comforting hot chocolate and watch Harry Potter movies. I mean… what could be better than that?
My dad absolutely loved this hot chocolate. He’s not one for sweet drinks, so I knew this was a huge success!
This hot chocolate is:
Incredibly creamy
Perfectly sweet
Super comforting
Chocolatey & dreamy
Warms you from the inside out
