Description

This Decadent Oreo Hot Chocolate recipe combines the richness of cocoa and chocolate with the iconic taste of Oreos, creating a luxurious and comforting drink perfect for cozy nights in. Made with full-fat milk and cream for an indulgent texture, it’s topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and an extra Oreo for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups Whole Milk (use full-fat for an extra indulgent texture)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (try half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (choose high-quality for the best experience)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste for your perfect sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla is the finest choice)
  • 1 pinch Salt (just a pinch can elevate the flavor beautifully)

Oreo Components

  • 6 Oreo Cookies (crush while keeping filling for mixing)
  • 2 cookies Extra Oreos (whole Oreos add a fun visual appeal)

Chocolate Enhancement

  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional, but recommended for extra depth)

Toppings

  • 1 cup Whipped Cream (optional, but it takes indulgence up a notch)
  • 2 tablespoons Chocolate Syrup (drizzle it on top for an eye-catching finish)

Instructions

  1. Separate and Crush Oreos: Carefully separate the Oreo cookies, setting the creamy filling aside in a bowl, and crush the chocolate wafer parts into fine crumbs for later incorporation.
  2. Warm Milk and Cream: In a medium saucepan, pour in the whole milk and heavy cream; set the heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until warm but not boiling.
  3. Add Cocoa and Sugar: Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar vigorously for around 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Melt Chocolate Chips: Incorporate the semi-sweet chocolate chips into your warm cocoa mixture, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until melted and fully blended.
  5. Mix Oreo Crumbs and Filling: Stir in the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs along with the reserved cream filling, mixing well for another minute to infuse the chocolate with Oreo flavor.
  6. Finish with Vanilla and Serve: Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the Oreo hot chocolate into mugs gently.
  7. Add Toppings and Garnish: Top each mug with whipped cream, drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream, and garnish with a whole Oreo cookie for a fun and indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk and heavy cream for the richest flavor and texture, or substitute with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste preference, especially if you use semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • For extra depth, use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  • Whipped cream and extra Oreos as toppings are optional but highly recommended for a decadent presentation.
  • Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
  • Can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
