Hot Cocoa with Whipped Cream
Written by admin on December 2nd, 2009Are you addicted to anything at the moment? Dear friends, I must confess an addiction that surfaces this time of year. It happens to be fattening. It’s something I can talk myself right into not being able to live without. From behind the heavy refrigerator door, I can hear the milk and whipped cream whispering my name. What’s more, the entire family is following in my footsteps.
All it takes is
- a cup of milk
- a spoonful of cocoa
- sugar to taste — usually 2 spoons of sugar to 1 spoon of cocoa
Heated to perfection while stirring, into a pretty cup it goes. Whipped cream with a fine sprinkle of cinnamon makes the perfect topping.
Yum.

The same siren lives within my refrigerator, Lynn. Every afternoon when I feel my hands growing cold, I make myself a little cup of hot chocolate. I had forgotten about the whipped cream. Thanks!

you are my kind of gal!
We woke up to a delightful morning of snow in North Texas ~ completely unexpected!! We’ve been outside to play and made a mini-snowman and now we are eating hot grits w/ham and spiced, buttered apple cider….yum. We LOVE everything about winter!
Have a great day!

Jenn. Siren…LOL. Yes, mine might be more of a siren too.
Michelle, I know!
Oh, Teresa, that sounds wonderful! Wintery fun, and snow in Texas to boot. Boot. Texas. Ha ha. Anyhoo, I hope your day was great.
Carrie, you’re so sweet. I’ll look forward to it and to sending you a surprise in return.
Diane, of course!
Susan, we’ll go down poor-memory lane together. We might get our words mixed up, but won’t we have a lot to talk about?!

My December addiction is homemade shortbread. Yum!! It would be nice with your hot chocolate – even in an Aussie summer!!

Wow, what a coincidence! Putting whipped cream on my hot chocolate is something that I NEVER do. However, I very recently bought a can of whipped cream (the light one) as a topping and have been drinking them quite frequently. Perhaps there are subliminal messages somewhere convincing us to break form and do so? lol!

I forgot to mention that I also use instant Diet Swiss Miss and a packet of equal. All of the flavor but less decadent calorie wise.

Would love to hear what special things for this month you are doing in school. Does your curriculum have some Christmas books or emphasis? Love hearing about your new curr.

Hi Lynn,
I had a moment to visit and what a delight! Your past few posts have been so warm and inviting. You really have an ability to spread cheer!
Thanks for sharing,

Jeanne, I’ll be right over.
Tanya, that’s so funny. Yes, I guess there are whipped cream messages floating around and we’ve both been hit.
Becky, I’ve been thinking of posting a school update. Thank you for asking! Hopefully soon. There’s been a lot of unusual stuff going on around here lately, including a cat accident. We’re not doing any special Christmas books, but just reading in our AO books and staying very involved in our FIAR homeschool group.
Clarice, I guess great minds think alike.
Oh, thank you Diane! I feel the same way about you, and I bet your students do too.
