Cinnamon Roll Hot Cocoa

Experience the cozy comfort of a classic treat with the Cinnamon Roll Hot Cocoa. This simple yet delightful recipe brings together the rich flavors of Big Train 20 Below Frozen Hot Chocolate Mix and the warm spice of DaVinci Gourmet Naturals Cinnamon Bark Syrup to create a beverage reminiscent of your favorite cinnamon roll. 

Yield: 1 drink

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. Cream cheese, softened
⅛ tsp. Ground cinnamon
¼ cup Big Train 20 Below Frozen Hot Chocolate Beverage Mix
½ oz. DaVinci Gourmet Naturals Cinnamon Bark Syrup
10 oz. Hot water
½ cup Whipped cream
1 tsp. Crushed cinnamon cereal, optional

Instructions:

Step 1  Combine cream cheese and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread mixture on the inside of a large glass coffee cup or mug with the back of a spoon. Create stripes by removing some of the cream cheese with the tip of the spoon. This creates a cinnamon roll layering effect. Set glass aside.
Step 2 In another bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together hot chocolate mix, cinnamon syrup and hot water until smooth. Pour mixture into the reserved cup with cream cheese. 
Step 3  Top with whipped cream and sprinkle top with crushed cereal if desired. Serve.

Extra Twist: Convert this hot cocoa to a boozy coffee cocktail by adding a shot of bourbon and a shot of espresso.
