Cacao v Cocoa Powder: What’s the Difference?

2 tablespoonsagave nectar

1 teaspoonvanilla

6 dropsred food coloring

¼ teaspoonsalt

1 teaspooncocoa powder
optional

sprinkles
festive, for decorating the tops

½ cupheavy whipping cream

2 ozcream cheese
room temperature

1 tablespoonsagave nectar

½ teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1
Place the milk, cocoa powder, agave nectar, vanilla, red food coloring, and salt in a sauce pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, whisking frequently.
Step 3
Once warmed and combined, pour into two individual mugs.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese into a standing mixer and whip on high for 3 minutes until the cream starts to stiffen.
Step 5
Add the agave nectar and vanilla to the mixing bowl.
Step 6
Whip for another two minutes until the whip cream has stiff peaks.
Step 7
To achieve a swirl effect on top of the hot cocoa, transfer the whip cream to a plastic baggie and cut off one corner. Move it in a circular motion to swirl it around the top of the mug. Alternatively, you can dollop the whip cream into each mug on top of the hot chocolate.
Step 8
Decorate! This is optional, but to make it even prettier: Place 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder in a metal sifter and shift it over the hot chocolate. Add some festive sprinkles if desired.
