Ube Hot Chocolate

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Ube Hot Chocolate is made with homemade Ube Milk and white chocolate from the Philippines. It's then topped with coconut whip and a sprinkle of Ube Polvoron.

Gosh, if you are looking for a sip-able dessert then this Ube Hot Chocolate is it. This recipe is for 1 cup, however I suggest serving it in tiny espresso cups and dividing it up into 3 servings. Great during cold nights around the fire. Oh and if you are so inclined, adding a shot of coconut rum would go great with it too.

Ingredients

Homemade Ube Milk - I am telling you this Ube Milk is a recipe that you will make over and over.

White Chocolate - In this recipe we use one whole bar of Auro white chocolate from the Philippines. Feel free to use any white chocolate bar, but you are making a Filipino drink so use Filipino ingredients to support the country and farmers where Ube comes from.

Coconut Whip - Get the ready made whip. I keep a container of coco whip in my freezer incase of emergency.

Crushed Ube Polvoron - This no bake Filipino Shortbread Cookie gives it a nice crunch texture. We sprinkle it on top of the coconut whip.
