Winter's Dream: Blue Velvet Cocoa Delight

 

Blue Velvet Cocoa with Marshmallows Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp blue food coloring (or butterfly pea powder for a natural blue color)
• Pinch of salt
• Marshmallows for topping (mini marshmallows work best)
• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.

2. Add White Chocolate Chips: Lower the heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until they melt completely, creating a smooth mixture.

3. Add Vanilla & Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

4. Color the Cocoa: Add the blue food coloring or butterfly pea powder to give it that rich, blue velvet color. Start with a little, and add more until you reach the desired shade of blue.

5. Serve: Pour the blue cocoa into your favorite mug.

6. Top It Off: Add marshmallows on top, and if desired, a swirl of whipped cream for extra decadence. You could also sprinkle some edible glitter or blue sugar crystals for a touch of sparkle.

Optional Garnishes:

• Blue sprinkles
• Edible glitter
• Crushed candy cane for a minty twist

Enjoy your Blue Velvet Cocoa—a creamy, dreamy treat that’s as fun to look at as it is to sip!
