Hot Cocoa Dip
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For the Dip:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup hot cocoa mix
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
For the Santa Hat Dippers:
- 10 strawberries
- 10 mini marshmallows
- 5 regular marshmallows
Instructions
- Heat the heavy cream in the microwave until it is hot but not bubbling. Pour in the hot cocoa mix and whisk vigorously until the powder has dissolved. Allow the cream to slightly cool for about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the chocolate chips into the cream mixture and do not stir for 1 minute. After a minute, whisk the chocolate chips into the heavy cream until all the chocolate has melted. Stir in the cinnamon. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and vanilla yogurt until it is smooth.
- Pour in the chocolate cream until fully combined and even. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Santa hat dippers by cutting off the stem of each strawberry. Then cut each of the regular sized marshmallows in half.
- Layer a marshmallow half, followed by a cut-side down strawberry and a mini marshmallow at the point. Stick a long toothpick through all three pieces to create a little Santa hat.
- Serve the Santa hats as dippers alongside the Hot Cocoa Dip.
