Apple Cider Hot Chocolate is the best of both worlds! A delicious combination of spiced apple cider and white hot chocolate.
I always have a hard time deciding between spiced my two favorite Fall drinkes, apple cider and hot chocolate. With this recipe I don’t have to choose any more and either do you! Apple Cider Hot Chocolate lets you have your cake and eat it too.
Not only is this a delicious combination it is so easy to make and only requires a few easy ingredients, including store bought cider.
Ingredients Needed
- Spiced Apple Cider. You can use store bought or homemade. If using store bought, I prefer Trader Joe’s Spiced Apple Cider.
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- White Chocolate. Use a good quality white chocolate bar, not white chocolate chips.
How to Make Apple Cider Hot Chocolate
- Heat spiced apple cider in a pan over medium high heat.
- Add in cream and vanilla extract and continue stirring until warmed through. Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil. This may cause the cream to burn.
- Cut white chocolate bar into small pieces.
- Remove the mixture from heat and add white chocolate pieces.
- Stir mixture until white chocolate has completely melted.
- Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Hey, just want to make sure, but do we add in the rest of the ingredients while the cider is heated, or after the cider is heated? Thanks, and excited to try recipe!

You heat the cider first and then add in the white chocolate and the liquid whipping cream. Stir until chocolate melts. Then pour into the glass and top with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Alright! Thanks!
