Oreo Hot Chocolate - The Not So Creative Cook
This Oreo Hot Chocolate is so creamy and delicious – not too sweet. It uses homemade instant hot chocolate mix and with added grounded Oreos. Also with homemade whipped cream and more Oreos on top. Oreo overload, I say! When the weather is cold, what do you want to do? Or what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Me? A delicious hot chocolate, a good book, and a comfy couch. I am not a blanket person, so no for the blanket. I prefer having a huge and fluffy pillow. Just thinking about those things makes me want to wish that it’s raining right at this very moment coz my Oreo Hot Chocolate would be perfect! I love hot chocolate alone, but with Oreos is a level up. What’s not to love? I used the homemade instant hot chocolate mix I have on the blog which I got from Laura Vitale. The instant hot chocolate mix has 70% dark chocolate and espresso powder along with the other main ingredients like sugars and cocoa powder. This instant hot chocolate mix can be used as a base for hot chocolate recipes – add Oreos, graham crackers, Lotus caramelized biscuits… The choices are endless. It happened that I wanted hot chocolate and I had Oreos with me (well, I am keeping a box of Oreos with me… in case of emergency, haha!) – I found this tempting recipe from The Recipe Critic. When I saw ‘hot chocolate powder’ from the ingredients list, I thought I could use the instant hot chocolate mix recipe I got from Laura. This Oreo Hot Chocolate is super creamy and delicious! I was told that this is better than one of the Oreo drinks she had before. That feedback was enough to put a wide smile on my face! One of the good things about this one? If you are not able to finish it (which I don’t understand why?? Haha!), you can let it cool at room temperature and you can keep in the fridge. After at least two hours, you’ll have somewhat like an Oreo Milkshake. 😀 See? I am telling you – this recipe is AMAZING! I used homemade whipped cream which I think better than store-bought. I just whipped 150 ml heavy/whipping cream till stiff peaks and I added 1 tbsp of powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. I placed a dollop (or two, I guess) on top of the warm Oreo hot chocolate and it was the best Oreo hot chocolate I ever had! I am sharing this with you and it is so sad that this will be the last Fiesta Friday of the year, but I am also excited what 2018 brings! Happy Fiesta Friday #204.
