Tropical Rum flavored Hot Chocolate for a Cold Evening and other favorite Hot Chocolate recipes.

I have an amazing recipe for Hot Chocolate and I'll repost it at the end of this one and a Homemade Cappuccino Drink Mix.
This one is also incredible.

1 can (14oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 C Dark Chocolate unsweetened Cocoa Powder
a Pinch of Salt
3/4 C Pineapple Juice
3/4 C Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
4 C Water
In a  large saucepan on medium heat:
Coconut Milk\Sweetened Condensed Milk
Cocoa Powder
Salt
Pineapple Juice
Simmer, do not boil.
Whisk in Rum and Water and heat until desired temperature. Whisking often.
Serve in mugs and top with Whipped Cream.


Whipped Cream:
1 C Very Cold Heavy Cream
3 TBS Granulated Sugar

Beat cream until soft peak. Add Sugar and rum and continue beating well.
Refrigerate until ready to prepare the drinks.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!



It's cold, rainy and dreary outside. We may even get sleet or ice. It's the perfect time for Hot Cocoa.
We always have home made hot cocoa in the pantry. Today my wife found these miniature marshmallows, perfect for a mug of Hot Cocoa. It's Hot Cocoa time!
Previously I posted a recipe for Home Made Hot Chocolate. I'll re post it at the end of this post. I also re posted my Home Made Cappuccino Drink.
