This Biscoff Hot Chocolate is a fun variation on a traditional winter beverage. The cookie butter makes it almost like a S'Mores Hot Cocoa!
It all started out with replicating the Pistachio White Hot Chocolate we got addicted to (Via Second Cup), moved on to me doing a Sugar Free Pistachio White Hot Chocolate, and expanded out to a couple more keto recipes, knowing Iโd be going back on the diet soon.
I happened to have a big jar of Nutella on hand at the time, and had the idea to use that as a base for a Nutella Hot Chocolate, which was absolutely as ridiculously delicious as it sounds.
I canโt even remember what made me think of cookie butter at the time, but that ended up being the โlogicalโ extension of that Nutella idea.
So, obviously we had to make THAT a thing!
Iโm allergic to gluten, and cookie butter is literally a spread made out of cookies. Theyโre caramelized and blended with other ingredients to form a product that I hear is AMAZING - it sure smells great!
No worries, though - my husband was happy enough to be a guinea pig for the idea!
He LOVED it, and said it was โreally funโ and was โlike drinking a hot cookieโ - almost like liquid sโmores, between the cookie / cinnamon / chocolate combination.
SO - if you donโt have a gluten issue?
Youโll have to take his word - and repeat requests for more! - and be sure to give this one a try!
Ingredients
While this Biscoff Hot Chocolate recipe uses only a few basic ingredients, theyโre not necessarily ALL ones that you can easily find in grocery stores. So, itโs good to plan ahead!
A few notes for you:
Biscoff Spread
We used actual Biscoff Spread, but there are several brands of Cookie Butter, like Speculoos Cookie Butter.
Any of them will work in this recipe, as will any fun alternative โbutterโ.
Milk
You can use whatever kind of milk you like in this recipe.
Unsweetened Almond Milk has been my milk of choice for years now, ever since I needed to switch to a non-dairy milk.
As far as other plant based milks, Oat milk, Cashew Milk, Flax Milk, Macadamia Milk and Coconut Milk are all good options, and will taste great in this recipe.
Beyond that, regular milk works, too. You can use whatever you like, but Iโd recommend at least 2% fat, for a creamy hot cocoa.
Whole milk works well, but I find 1% / skim milk to be too watery, IMHO.
As a note: for a richer hot chocolate, swap out ยฝ cup of milk for heavy cream.
Everything Else
Rounding out this recipe, you will need:
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Granulated Sugar
Salt
... Donโt really have anything to add, here!
Optional Toppings
Half the fun of making fancy drinks is dressing them up with your favorite toppings.
Some of my favourite options for this Biscoff Hot Chocolate recipe:
Whipped Cream
Crushed Biscoff Cookies
Melted Biscoff Spread (as a drizzle)
Chocolate Shavings
Mini Marshmallows
Mini Chocolate Chips
