Best Hot Chocolate Milkshakes Recipes

HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, and salt, and whisk to combine well. Store the mixture in an airtight container.
• For individual servings, pour 1 cup whole milk into a microwave-safe mug, and microwave on high just until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa mix, and stir to dissolve. For a larger batch of cocoa, warm the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, taking care not to let the milk boil; as it warms, stir in 2 tablespoons of mix for each cup of milk.

HOT FUDGE MILKSHAKES

Steps:

• Add the ice cream and milk to a high-powered blender and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and pourable. Drizzle the Homemade Chocolate Sauce on the inside of 2 tall glasses, pour in the milkshake, and top with another drizzle of chocolate sauce. Top with a big dollop of whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and a few Sweet and Salty peanuts. Serve with a straw and a spoon.
• Add all the ingredients to a bowl set over a double boiler. Heat over medium heat, stirring every so often, until chocolate is melted. Switch to a whisk if necessary to combine all the ingredients. As the chocolate sauce cools, it will slightly harden. It can be rewarmed to a pourable consistency in the microwave, heating in 10 second increments until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the butter, agave and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan. Melt over medium heat. Once the butter has melted add the peanuts and stir to coat. Transfer the nuts to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until the sugar from the agave has caramelized and the nuts are golden brown. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

CREAMY HOT COCOA

Steps:

• Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature.
