Oreo hot chocolate is it delicious combination of cocoa powder, milk, granulated sugar and crumbled Oreo cookies topped with a large amount of whipped cream. This delicious warm chocolatey beverage is full of Oreo flavor and is a thick and rich hot chocolate.

Oreos are a classic and well-known sandwich cookie. If, somehow, you’re not familiar they are two chocolate cookies with a rich creme filling in between (source).

Making flavored hot chocolates is a fun and fancy twist that is easy to do. Most are made in the same way this one is where you just add an additional ingredient to create the flavor. Some other flavored hot chocolates include Butterfinger hot chocolate, orange hot chocolate and biscoff hot chocolate.

As if you still aren’t convinced, here are some of the reasons this recipe works so well:

• Oreos, duh. I mean, hello, Oreos are delicious! So, Oreos combined with extra chocolate and heated up who wouldn’t want to taste of that?
• Only four ingredients. This is super easy to make. You only need four simple ingredients and about 10 minutes to heat them together.
• Decadent and fancy. This drink is super decadent, extra rich and looks fancy too. It makes it perfect for casual sipping or to serve at celebrations and parties.

When to Make This Drink:

This is a great and versatile beverage. Here are just a few times to consider making it:

• Dessert
• Birthdays
• Cold days
• Celebrations

Variations:

If you’re looking for a few different flavor variations or ingredient modifications, consider these options:

• Add more chocolate. You could add up to a quarter cup of cocoa powder to make this super extra chocolatey.
• You the dairy-free milk. Make this an oat milk hot chocolate or other dairy-free milk alternative.
• Skip the sugar. Oreos and themselves are already super sweet. So if you want to tone down the sugar some skip the granulated sugar all together.
• Add more milk. The Oreos and cream when melted create a very, very thick drink. If you need to thin it out a little you can add some more milk in.
• Use flavored Oreos. Spice it up even more by adding flavored Oreos instead of original Oreos. Some flavor options include toffee, chocolate hazelnut, Java chip, birthday cake and lemon cream.

📋 Ingredients

• 1 cup Milk

• ⅛ cup Sugar
• 3-4 Oreos

👩🏻‍🍳Instructions

Step one

Gather up everything for this beverage including cocoa powder, sugar, Oreos, milk, measuring cup, whisk, saucepan, whipped cream and mug.

Step two

Take four of the Oreos and place them into a plastic bag. Then, crumble them up using the back of a wooden spoon or anything else you want to hit them with.

You want the crumbled pieces to be relatively small, but don’t completely pulverize everything.

Add almost all of the Oreo crumbles into the saucepan. Leave out about one Oreo worth of crumbles as you’ll use that as topping.

Step three

Measure out ⅛ of a cup of granulated sugar. Then, pour that in a saucepan.

Step four

Measure out ⅛ of a cup of cocoa powder. Then, pour that in a saucepan.

Step five

Measure up one cup of milk. Then, pour that in a saucepan.

Step Seven

Place your saucepan onto the stove top. Heat it at medium heat while whisking continuously.

After about 4 minutes, the Oreos are usually pretty well melted. Continue to heat for an additional 4 minutes or so until the mixture starts to thicken.

Step Eight

As soon as it starts to thicken, remove it from the heat. Then, pour your drink into your mug.

Get decadent with your garnish by adding a large dollop of whipped cream. Then, sprinkle your crumbled oreos on top and add a single Oreo into the side.
