Perfect Red Velvet Hot Chocolate

The Perfect Red Velvet Hot Chocolate is the ultimate indulgence for a Galentine’s or Valentine’s Day celebration! This delightful creation combines the richness of The Perfect Man Hot Chocolate Bomb with the vibrant hues of beetroot powder, the creaminess of coconut milk, and the sweetness of pure vanilla extract.

If you don’t love coconut milk, feel free to substitute it with almond milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk for a different twist. You’ll want it heated for the perfect hot chocolate drink. To top it off, I added a rim of Sprinkles of Love and cream cheese frosting, along with adorable XOXO Marshmallows. If you can’t find the specific Great Value brand for the sprinkles and marshmallows, any festive alternatives from your local store will work beautifully. Swoon!

Ingredients for the Perfect Red Velvet Hot Chocolate

• The Perfect Man Hot Chocolate Bomb: This delightful chocolate bomb adds a rich and decadent flavor to the hot chocolate. Available from Treat Street USA, it’s a must-have for an indulgent treat.
• Coconut Milk: While coconut milk adds a creamy texture and a hint of tropical flavor, feel free to substitute it with other milk alternatives like almond milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk. I like Thai Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk.
• Beetroot Powder: If you don’t have beetroot powder, you can use natural red food coloring as an alternative. Start with a small amount and adjust until you achieve the desired hue. Keep in mind that the flavor might differ slightly. I used Chérie Sweet Heart Beetroot Powder.
• Cream Cheese Frosting: You can use regular frosting or even whipped cream as a substitute for the rim. It will still provide a sweet contrast to the richness of the hot chocolate.
• Whipped topping: A light and fluffy finish to crown the Perfect Red Velvet Hot Chocolate. Feel free to use your favorite whipped topping or make your own for a personalized touch. I like Cool Whip.
• Sprinkles of Love and XOXO Marshmallows: To add a playful and decorative touch to your hot chocolate!

How to Make the Perfect Man Red Velvet Hot Chocolate

Start by preparing your mug. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting around the rim, so that it’s evenly coated. Next, dip the rim into the Sprinkles of Love Sprinkle Mix.

In your prepared mug, combine beetroot powder, pure vanilla extract, and heated coconut milk. Stir the mixture until well combined. Carefully add The Perfect Man Hot Chocolate Bomb to infuse the drink with rich chocolate flavor. Stir until completely dissolved.

Top your Perfect Red Velvet Hot Chocolate with a dollop of whipped topping, a sprinkle of Sprinkles of Love, and finish with the irresistibly cute Great Value XOXO Marshmallows. Your indulgent hot chocolate is ready to be shared and sipped!
