I stumbled upon this Biscoff Hot Chocolate recipe during a cozy winter evening and it's been my absolute favorite ever since. The way the creamy Biscoff spread melts into the hot chocolate creates this incredible caramel flavor that's just magical. Every time I make it my kitchen fills with the most amazing aroma it's like a warm hug in a mug.
What Makes It Special
This isn't your ordinary hot chocolate. That signature Biscoff flavor adds these gorgeous notes of caramel cinnamon and nutmeg that make it feel so luxurious. I love how simple it is to make yet it tastes like something from a fancy café. My friends always ask for seconds when I serve this.
What You'll Need
- Biscoff Spread: 2–3 tablespoons, smooth for a silky texture.
- Milk: 2 cups full-fat for creaminess; plant-based alternatives work for a vegan option.
- Cocoa Powder: 1 tablespoon, or your favorite hot chocolate powder for added richness.
- Toppings: Whipped cream, crushed Biscoff biscuits, or marshmallows for the ultimate finish.
Let's Make It Together
- Heat The Milk
- Pour 2 cups of milk into a saucepan and heat over medium-high until it begins to steam, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate Biscoff And Cocoa
- Remove from heat, whisk in 2 tablespoons of Biscoff spread and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder until fully dissolved.
- Reheat And Serve
- Return to heat, stirring until the mixture is steaming hot. Pour into a mug, add your chosen toppings, and enjoy!
Make It Your Own
I love playing around with different flavors. Sometimes I add a splash of vanilla extract or even a bit of almond flavor. During the holidays I'll sneak in some Baileys and top it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. It's so fun to experiment.
Quick And Easy Option
On busy mornings I just pop everything in the microwave. One to two minutes for the milk then stir in the Biscoff and cocoa. It's just as delicious and there's hardly any cleanup. Perfect for those times when you need a quick comfort fix.
Keep It Fresh
If you somehow have leftovers they'll keep nicely in the fridge for a couple days. Just warm it up slowly on the stove or in short bursts in the microwave. Give it a good stir and it's like fresh made all over again.
Perfect Pairings
When I'm feeling extra indulgent I love serving this with some Biscoff blondies. Sometimes I'll add a tiny pinch of chili powder for a spicy kick. The possibilities are endless and it's always delicious.
When To Serve It
This drink is perfect for so many occasions. I make it for cozy movie nights holiday gatherings or just when I need a little pick-me-up. It always brings smiles and comfort no matter when you serve it.
