Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot, but make sure it does not reach a boil.
- While the milk is heating, in a separate bowl, whisk together the hot chocolate mix, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Once the milk is hot, slowly whisk in the dry mixture. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and the powders are well integrated into the milk.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot chocolate mixture into a blender. Blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is frothy and well blended.
- Pour the frothy hot chocolate milkshake into two large glasses.
- Top each milkshake with a generous amount of whipped cream. Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Serve the Spiced Hot Chocolate Milkshake immediately, preferably with a side of your favorite cookies, and savor the creamy, spicy goodness!
Tips
- For a vegan option, substitute regular milk with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
