Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Whole Milk (use full-fat for an extra indulgent texture)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (try half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (choose high-quality for the best experience)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste for your perfect sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla is the finest choice)
  • 6 Oreo Cookies (crush while keeping filling for mixing)
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional, but recommended for extra depth)
  • 1 pinch Salt (just a pinch can elevate the flavor beautifully)

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1 cup Whipped Cream (optional, but it takes indulgence up a notch)
  • 2 tablespoons Chocolate Syrup (drizzle it on top for an eye-catching finish)
  • 2 whole Oreo Cookies (adds a fun visual appeal)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Cookies: Carefully separate the Oreo cookies, setting the creamy filling aside in a bowl, and crush the chocolate wafer parts into fine crumbs to incorporate into the hot chocolate later.
  2. Heat Milk and Cream: In a medium saucepan, pour in the whole milk and heavy cream; set the heat to medium-low, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes to warm the mixture evenly without boiling.
  3. Add Cocoa and Sugar: Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar vigorously for around 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes completely smooth and evenly blended.
  4. Melt Chocolate Chips: Incorporate the semi-sweet chocolate chips into your warm cocoa mixture, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until they fully melt and the mixture is rich and silky.
  5. Mix Oreo Crumbs and Filling: Stir in the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs along with the reserved cream filling, mixing well for another minute to infuse the classic Oreo flavor throughout the hot chocolate.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the aroma. Pour the Oreo Hot Chocolate into mugs carefully.
  7. Add Whipped Cream and Garnishes: Top each mug with whipped cream, drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream, and garnish with a whole Oreo cookie on top for a stylish and delicious finish.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk and heavy cream for the richest taste, or substitute half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • The semi-sweet chocolate chips are optional but recommended for added depth and creaminess.
  • Adjust sugar according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Do not let the milk mixture boil as it may scorch or separate.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free whipped topping.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
