Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet hot chocolate mix
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) mini marshmallows
- 23 chocolate chips or white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 small candy cane (for stirring)
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- sprinkles (optional, for decorating)
Instructions
- Mug Preparation: Select a festive mug and add hot chocolate powder, ensuring complete powder coverage at the base.
- Liquid Integration: Pour steaming milk or water over the powder, whisking methodically until the mixture achieves a seamless, silky consistency without lumps.
- Marshmallow and Chocolate Enhancement: Generously scatter mini marshmallows and chocolate chips across the liquid surface, creating a playful and textured beverage landscape.
- Flavor Infusion: Unwrap the candy cane and deploy it as a stirring implement, allowing its vibrant peppermint profile to permeate the warm drink with a crisp, invigorating essence.
- Cream and Decoration Finale: Crown the beverage with a voluminous layer of whipped cream, then artfully dust the top with decorative sprinkles or cocoa powder to transform the drink into a festive winter indulgence.
- Serving Protocol: Present the snowman soup immediately to preserve its optimal temperature and maintain the marshmallows’ delicate, pillowy texture, ensuring a delightful sensory experience.
Notes
- Milk Temperature Control: Heat milk just until steaming to prevent scorching and maintain a smooth, creamy texture without boiling.
- Marshmallow Melting Technique: Add marshmallows gradually and allow them to partially melt for a luxurious, integrated topping that enhances the drink’s richness.
- Candy Cane Infusion Tip: Stir with the candy cane for 30-60 seconds to release maximum peppermint flavor without completely dissolving the candy.
- Dairy-Free Adaptation: Substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the drink’s creamy consistency.
