Cranberry Cinnamon Hot Chocolate
 
 
Rich and creamy hot chocolate that gets a sweet-tart edge from a cranberry cinnamon infusion.
Yield: 2 cups
Ingredients
For the cranberry cinnamon simple syrup
  • 8 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
For the hot chocolate
  • 1½ cups Silk original almondmilk
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup cranberry cinnamon simple syrup
  • whipped cream
Instructions
  1. To make the simple syrup, in a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer, cooking for 10 minutes, or until cranberries are tender but not bursting, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve.
  2. In a high powered blender (like a Vitamix), combine the milk, chocolate chips, and simple syrup. Blend on high for 5-6 minutes, or until warm. Divide the hot chocolate among two cups and top with whipped cream. (Alternatively, the hot chocolate can be made on the stovetop by melting the chocolate chips into the milk over medium heat, and then stirring in the simple syrup.)
