How to Make Oreo Hot Chocolate

 


Heat 3 cups (700 milliliters) of milk until it just begins to steam. Pour 3 cups (700 milliliters) of whole milk into a saucepan. Cook the milk over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally, until it just begins to steam. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes.^[1]

• While you're waiting for the milk to heat up, get started on the next step.

Blend the remaining milk, condensed milk, Oreos, and cocoa powder. Pour the remaining 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk into a blender. Add the sweetened condensed milk, Oreos, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Close the blender, and blend on high until smooth, about 2 minutes.^[2]

• You can use a food processor as well, but it would be a good idea to cover the lid with a towel to prevent leaks.
• For creamier hot chocolate, add 1 tablespoon (7.5 grams) of cornstarch or cornflour to the blender.

 

 

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat for another 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk the mixture often and do not let it come to a boil. It is ready when the Oreo mixture is completely dissolved and mixed into the milk.^[3] 

 

 

 

Divide the hot chocolate between 4 mugs. Alternatively, you can divide it between 2 large mugs, and have larger serving sizes instead. To avoid spills and wasting any hot chocolate, use a soup ladle to transfer it from the saucepan to the mugs. You can pour it straight from the saucepan if you are careful, however. 

 

Heat the milk over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour 2 cups (470 milliliters) of whole milk into a saucepan. Turn the heat up to medium-low, and allow the milk to cook until it just begins to simmer. Stir the milk often with a whisk, and do not let it come to a boil.^[5]

• For richer hot chocolate, try 1 cup (240 milliliters) of whole milk and 1 cup (240 milliliters) of heavy cream.

 

 

Divide the hot chocolate between 2 mugs, then serve it. For a fancier treat, garnish the hot chocolate with a swirl of whipped cream. Add a sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top.

• You can leave the hot chocolate plain, without any whipped cream or Oreos.
