You have to try these 10 hot chocolate toppings!
Fancy a nice hot chocolate with toppings, but are you a bit tired of the standard whipped cream, cinnamon powder and marshmallows? Or are you throwing a (Christmas) party and want to make a splash with unique hot chocolate? Then these toppings are a must to try!
1. Chili (powder)
Chili powder in hot chocolate is also known as Mexican hot chocolate. And Ay, Caramba! What a great kick this gives to your chocolate milk. Add as much chili powder to your chocolate milk as you want (and dare) and enjoy this sensational combination. Are you a real daredevil? Then you can also add a pepper for decoration. A bit like a cinnamon stick, but with a bit more spice.
2. Espresso or coffee
Half coffee half chocolate milk makes for a divine drink! It is of course no surprise that we recommend this combination: we are and will remain true coffee lovers. It is also fun to play around with what you like. Espresso or coffee, more coffee than chocolate milk or the other way around, you can choose how to make this hot chocolate milk.
3. Churros
Okay, okay, churros may not be real toppings, but they are delicious to dip in your hot chocolate! A fun and tasty alternative to (speculaas) cookies.
4. Caramel and sea salt
Who doesn't love the popular caramel and salt combination? If you add chocolate to it, you can't go wrong. Also in the world of liquid chocolate. Take a spoonful of caramel sauce, sprinkle it with some (coarse) sea salt and stir this magical duo into your cup of hot chocolate. Simple but delicious!
5. Whiskey
Want to spice up your hot chocolate a bit? Add a small shot of whiskey! This combination is guaranteed to keep you warm during the cold winter days. It is also a fitting end to a Christmas dinner, for example. Anyone for a nightcap?
6. Coconut shavings
Hot chocolate is usually associated with winter, but that doesn't mean we can't give it a tropical touch! By adding coconut shavings to your cup, you'll feel like you're on a deserted island on the beach. Get rid of that winter blues!
7. Peanut butter
Trust us, you want to try this! Chocolate and peanut butter are two flavors that go perfectly together (have you ever had Nutella and peanut butter on your bread?) and in liquid form this is also true. Take a teaspoon of peanut butter and stir it into your chocolate milk until it is completely melted. Take a sip and enjoy!
8. A scoop of ice cream
Are we suggesting you add a scoop of ice cream to your hot chocolate? Yes! Your cup of choco may get cold, but you don’t want to miss out on the heavenly combination of hot, cold, and sweet. Choose your own kind of ice cream, add it to your cup, and you’re good to go. Our ice cream recommendation? Coffee ice cream!
9. Peppermint
You’ve probably heard of peppermint tea, but now get ready for peppermint hot chocolate! Whether you add a sprig, small snips, or peppermint syrup to your mug, it’s going to taste amazing. Fresh and sweet in a great combination.
10. Cherry juice
Do you like to dip your cherries in chocolate? Then this is for you. Add a shot of cherry juice to your hot chocolate and decorate with whipped cream and a fresh/candy/maraschino cherry. This combination not only looks pretty, it is also incredibly delicious!
