Halloween Hot Chocolate combined with the best Red Velvet Hot Chocolate gives you an amazing and delicious Halloween treat. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to get in the spooky spirit than with a warm mug of rich hot chocolate? This one is made even more indulgent with cream cheese and red velvet flavors, then topped with a swirl of cream cheese whipped cream. This will be the treat that all your little monsters will love!
Make sure to lay the cream cheese out first so it can start softening.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add in the milk, whipping cream, white sugar, white chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and the vanilla extract over medium heat. Whisk the ingredients together and continuously whisk so that the white chocolate chips do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the hot cocoa has heated thoroughly, add in the red gel food coloring. Slowly add this in until you reach the color that you are looking for. Turn the burner to low and let the hot cocoa continue to simmer.
Using your stand mixer bowl, add in the cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla extract and whip the ingredients together using your whisk attachment until the cream cheese is smooth and creamy. Then slowly incorporate the whipping cream.
Continue whipping the mixture until firm peaks appear.
Pour or ladle the hot cocoa into a glass mug and place a dollop of whipped cream on top.
