My daughter loves Frozen and it’s all she’s into these days so we had to make a fun Elsa inspired hot cocoa and that is just what we did!

This Hot Cocoa is super easy to make using just 6 ingredients and can be made in just minutes! It’s the perfect way to heal a frozen heart (get it?).

Elsa’s Hot Cocoa

  • Milk – Whole milk is best as it gives it a creamy consistency
  • Vanilla Extract – I prefer pure vanilla extract but you can use imitation as well.
  • Ghirardelli White Chocolate Wafers, cut into small pieces
  • Teal Blue Gel Food Coloring – I used the teal color from this Wilton pack.
  • Whipped Cream
  • Mini Marshmallows

How to Make Elsa’s Hot Cocoa:

Combine milk, vanilla and white chocolate in a medium saucepan, stir to mix.

Heat the white chocolate on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer. (Do not let it come to a boil.)

Remove the white chocolate from from heat and stir in the blue gel food coloring. I added about 2-3 drops until it became the color I wanted.

Carefully pour the hot cocoa into the cup.

Top with whipping cream and mini marshmallows.

Serve warm and Enjoy!
