Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Add peanut butter and chocolate: Stir in 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips into the warm milk. Whisk continuously until the peanut butter and chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Flavor with vanilla: Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the hot chocolate and mix well to incorporate the flavor evenly throughout the drink.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the peanut butter hot chocolate into mugs. Top each serving with a generous amount of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an extra decadent touch.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for smooth texture; natural or chunky peanut butter may affect the consistency.
- Dark chocolate chips provide a rich taste, but milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter version.
- Whisking continuously when adding peanut butter and chocolate chips prevents lumps and ensures a silky drink.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for serving more people.
- To make it vegan, substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free chocolate chips and whipped topping.
