PB Hot Cocoa (Print Version)
Smooth cocoa and peanut butter come together for a rich, cozy drink that warms you right up.
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
18 g smooth peanut butter (the regular kind, not the natural one)
02 -
240 ml milk (use whatever kind you have)
03 -
1 tablespoon water
04 -
7 g plain cocoa powder, unsweetened
05 -
25 g white sugar
→ Optional toppings
06 -
Peanut butter sauce
07 -
Whipped cream
# Steps:
01 -
Once it's nice and hot, pour your drink into a 240 ml mug. If you feel like it, add a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of peanut butter sauce on top.
02 -
Now toss in the peanut butter and milk. Stir it up good. Keep heating it up, giving it a mix every now and then, until it’s hot and the peanut butter melts in smoothly.
03 -
Mix sugar, cocoa powder, and water in a small pan over medium heat. Keep stirring until the cocoa and sugar are all dissolved and blended together.
# Notes:
01 -
If you want the microwave route, chuck cocoa, sugar, and water in a mug and zap it for 15 seconds. Stir, throw in the peanut butter, mix again, add milk, microwave until steaming, and give it one last stir.
02 -
To make peanut butter sauce, just combine 2 tablespoons corn syrup with 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish. Heat for 10–20 seconds, wait for the bubbles, then stir until it's totally smooth.
