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!

  1. Pinning this for this Christmas. We, well Elf and his helpers, sneak in the girls room and decorate it in all snowflakes for the holidays and this is perfect. 🙂

  2. Wow. I definitely need to make this for my grand daughter. She so adores all of the Frozen characters. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with us at Merry Monday.
