White Chocolate Biscoff Hot Chocolate Recipe – Easy Cinnamon Delight
Hey everyone! If you’re anything like me, a cozy night in with a warm drink is the best. And let me tell you, this White Chocolate Biscoff Hot Chocolate is seriously next-level comfort. I first made this when I was craving something a little different from my usual hot chocolate, and the combination of creamy white chocolate and that delicious Biscoff flavour? Pure magic. It’s so easy to whip up, and it’s guaranteed to become your new favourite winter warmer.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This isn’t your average hot chocolate. It’s a hug in a mug! The white chocolate adds a lovely sweetness, while the Biscoff spread brings in that warm, caramel-like spice. Plus, a little sprinkle of cinnamon just ties everything together beautifully. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s unbelievably delicious. Honestly, what’s not to love?
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this dreamy hot chocolate:
- ½ cup milk (about 120ml)
- ½ cup water (about 120ml)
- 3 tbsp white chocolate chips (about 30g)
- 1 tbsp Biscoff spread (about 15g)
- Cinnamon powder, for garnish
Ingredient Notes
Okay, let’s talk about these ingredients! The star of the show, of course, is the Biscoff spread. It’s made from those incredibly addictive Biscoff biscuits (you know, the ones with the lotus flower on them!).
Biscoff originated in Belgium and has quickly become a global obsession. If you can’t find Biscoff spread, you could try a speculoos cookie butter as a substitute – they’re pretty similar!
Using good quality white chocolate chips really makes a difference. The better the chocolate, the richer and more flavourful your hot chocolate will be. Don’t skimp here! And feel free to adjust the cinnamon to your liking – I love a generous sprinkle, but you do you.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Let’s get brewing! It’s super simple, I promise.
- First, grab a saucepan and pour in the milk and water.
- Add the white chocolate chips and the Biscoff spread to the saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Now, this is important – stir constantly! We want everything to melt together smoothly.
- Keep stirring until the chocolate and Biscoff spread are completely melted and you have a lovely, creamy mixture.
- Once it’s all melted and combined, carefully pour the hot chocolate into your favourite mug.
- Finally, sprinkle a little cinnamon powder on top for that extra touch of warmth and flavour. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Don’t overheat! White chocolate can seize up if it gets too hot, so keep the heat on medium and stir continuously.
- For extra creaminess: A splash of cream (about 1-2 tbsp) will take this hot chocolate to the next level.
- Stir, stir, stir! Seriously, constant stirring is key to a smooth, lump-free hot chocolate.
Variations
Want to make this recipe your own? Here are a few ideas:
- Spice Level: My friend, Priya, loves a pinch of cardamom in hers – it adds a beautiful, fragrant warmth. Feel free to experiment with other spices like nutmeg or ginger too!
- Vegan Option: Easily make this vegan by swapping the milk for your favourite plant-based milk – almond, oat, or soy all work beautifully.
- Chocolate Intensity: If you prefer a stronger white chocolate flavour, use a higher quality white chocolate or add an extra tablespoon of chips.
- Festival Adaptations: During Christmas or winter holidays, I love adding a candy cane stir stick or a dusting of edible glitter for a festive touch. It’s a hit with the kids!
Serving Suggestions
This hot chocolate is perfect on its own, but it’s even better with a little something on the side. I love pairing it with:
- A plate of homemade cookies (Biscoff cookies, naturally!)
- A slice of warm cake
- A cozy blanket and a good book
Storage Instructions
This hot chocolate is best enjoyed immediately. However, if you happen to have leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. You may need to reheat it gently and stir well, as it might separate slightly.
FAQs
Let’s answer some common questions!
- Is this hot chocolate suitable for children? Yes, absolutely! Just make sure the hot chocolate isn’t too hot before serving it to little ones.
- Can I make this hot chocolate ahead of time? While it’s best fresh, you can prepare the mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just reheat gently before serving.
- What is Biscoff spread and where can I find it? Biscoff spread is a creamy spread made from Biscoff biscuits. You can usually find it in the biscuit aisle of most supermarkets, or online.
- Can I use a different type of chocolate? Of course! Milk chocolate or dark chocolate would also be delicious, but it will change the flavour profile.
- How can I adjust the sweetness of this hot chocolate? If you prefer a less sweet drink, use less white chocolate or add a splash of unsweetened milk.
