Ingredients
Milk (whole or preferred type): 2 cups
Unsweetened cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons
Granulated sugar: 1 to 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
Marshmallow Cream Liqueur: 1/4 cup (or to taste)
Whipped cream or marshmallows: For topping
Chocolate shavings: For garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar over medium heat.
Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until it is hot and steaming, but do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mugs.
Stir the marshmallow cream liqueur into each serving.
Top generously with whipped cream or marshmallows and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your rich, boozy cocoa.
Notes
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
Taste the cocoa before adding the liqueur; this helps you balance the sweetness perfectly.
If you prefer a thicker texture, whisk in a pinch of cornstarch with the cocoa powder before heating the milk.
