Minted Hot Chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps

Yes. Don’t be deceived by this innocent-sounding holiday beverage as the schnapps is 100 proof and packs a punch. This is great by a fire on a cold day as it can really warm up a crowd… literally.

Ingredients

  • 4 cup of whole milk
  • 10 Andes Creme De Menthe Thins, wrappers removed, separated (6 chopped and four grated for topping)
  • 4 cups of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 teaspoons espresso powder
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar, separated
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vinalla
  • 1/4 cup, or to taste, Rumple Minze Peppermint Schnapps Liqueur

Making It

  • Place a sauce pan over medium heat and add the milk, the semi sweet chocolate , 6 of the Andes (chopped), espresso and a tablespoon of the sugar. Stir until all the chocolate has melted and incorporated into the milk, leave hot on the stove.
  • Whisk the cream, a teaspoon of sugar and vanilla with a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until the cream has soft peaks.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into a blender, add the schnapps and blend. Use an oven mitt to hold the top on. Pour in mugs, put a dollop of whipped cream on top and go sit by the fire or any comfy spot.
