Minty Kiss Hot Chocolate
Minty Kiss Hot Chocolate is smooth and creamy with just a kiss of Crème de Menthe. It is a perfect after dinner drink! Don’t you sometimes want just a little sweetness at the end of your meal? My version of a mint hot chocolate is a little sweet with just a hint of mint. I think to call this a cocktail is not exactly right, since it is mostly milk, cream, & egg. But it does contain a very small amount of Crème de Menthe, just enough to give it a whisper of mint flavor and a lovely light green color. Making this mint hot chocolate is very easy. You start with milk, cream, and white chocolate (*yum!*) and add tempered egg yolks. Then cook just until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon… like this: Then whisk in the vanilla extract and Crème de Menthe and you are ready to pour, garnish, and serve! White chocolate and the egg yolks add a rich creaminess to this drink and the Crème de Menthe adds brightness not only in color but in taste. Oh… but let’s not forget the vanilla extract which calms the mint flavor and makes this mint hot chocolate so easy to sip! Yes, you can. Minty Kiss won’t have that lovely green color, but it will be very tasty with milk chocolate. Be sure to taste and add sugar if needed. Lastly, this mint hot chocolate recipe makes two generous 8-ounce servings. But you certainly can use smaller cups for petite tastings that would yield 4 to 5 servings. So, give Minty Kiss Hot Chocolate a try. I promise you won’t be sorry! Afterall, if you need an excuse, St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner!
