What Ingredients do I need for Rumchata Hot Chocolate?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain check here
Cool Whip - A frozen whipped topping that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I like it a lot because I’m lazy and don’t like beating heavy cream to making whipped cream. 😉
Andes Mint Chips - You might think a cinnamon/rum-flavored liquor and mint chips might be a weird combo, but you're wrong. They work really well together!
Rumchata - If you've never tried this cinnamon flavored creme liquor before you're missing out! I would suggest going over to the liquor store now and buying a bottle of it. It is a type of liquor that does not need to be refrigerated!
Milk - whole milk is listed in the recipe below but any type of milk will work. Even a non-dairy milk should be ok but just keep in mind Rumchata is not a dairy-free liquor
How to make Rumchata Hot Chocolate
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat bring the milk to a low simmer.
- Stir in the mint chips and stir until melted. Then add in the Rumchata.
