Can I use other types of milk? Whole milk is the preferred option for its nice fat content, but you can use other milk if needed. Instead of cow’s milk, use almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, etc.You could stir in some heavy cream if you wanted. It works really well with the cinnamon flavors.
Tips & Tricks
- It is important to let the hot chocolate simmer for a while so the cinnamon flavor can incorporate into the hot chocolate and give the snickerdoodle flavor
- While the extra cinnamon and marshmallows and/or whipped cream garnish, the extra sweetness from either addition adds to create the classic homemade cookie taste too. White chocolate chips are also a great option or why not grate some dark chocolate over the top?
- Stir in some vanilla extract to give the hot chocolate a different creamy flavor.
