Hot Chocolate float

Hot chocolate, a drink that is a favorite of many. Like many other kids, even my kiddo's love Hot chocolate and that is what they order whenever they get a chance. Its been long since i wanted to make them at home. So, when i saw the theme of Christmas, for this Blogging Marathon, i immediately chose the theme and made a list with Hot Chocolate as the first recipe.I made this for my elder one today and he was so happy and loved the vanilla ice-cream garnish on top, he gave me a double thumbs up and wanted this every weekend morning. 😀

If you don't prefer the ice-cream, add ¼ cup of cream to get a rich consistency. We recently tasted a yummilicious hot chocolate, in my brother's office, i immediately checked with the Chef and got his recipe too, will post it sometime before New Year. For now, enjoy this float and do let me know how you liked it.
