Ingredients

The following ingredients have 48 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups milk ((20 fl oz))
  • 3 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate ((1 cup), finely chopped)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp red gel food coloring (optional, I used Americolor Super Red)

Instruction

  • Place the milk and cream cheese in a blender and blend them together until smooth. If you have a stick blender, you can just place them in a saucepan and blend them together right in the pan.
  • Pour the milk-cream cheese mixture into a medium saucepan, and add the chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar, and salt.
  • Place over medium heat and warm the milk, whisking occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted and your mixture is smooth.
  • Whisk in the red food coloring, adding more until you get a color you like. Serve hot!
  • Red Velvet Hot Chocolate can be made several days in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to use. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove.
