Maple Pecan Hot Cocoa

For this chilly weather, there's nothing better than a delicious Maple Pecan Hot Cocoa to warm your body and soul!

  • SERVES: 4
  • TOTAL TIME: 25 MIN
  • PREP TIME: 25 MIN
Ingredients
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup crushed pecans (toasted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 can whipped cream

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the milk, pecans, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the blender. Blend on high until smooth.

  • Using a fine wire mesh strainer, strain the milk into a medium-sized saucepan. If you want a smoother finish, line the mesh strainer with cheesecloth.

  • Whisk in the cocoa powder, maple syrup and sugar. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and all the cocoa powder is dissolved.

  • Pour the hot cocoa into your favorite mug. Top it generously with whipped cream, sprinkle toasted pecans on top, and maybe even drizzle a little extra maple syrup for good measure.
