No, it doesn’t taste like chicken soup, but instead a smooth, rich hot chocolate that blows any store-bought powder out the water.
Milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, good cocoa powder, unsalted broth, and some vanilla is all you need to make this recipe.
Here I go into tools, ingredients, and instructions you need to make this easy and quick Bone Broth Hot Chocolate.
Bone Broth Hot Chocolate Recipe
Tools you need
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Mugs or holiday glasses
Ingredients
Makes 5-6 standard mugs
- 1 cup, unsalted bone broth (poultry preferred, beef tends to be too strong)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4-1 cup maple syrup (or sweetener of choice, adjust to your liking)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 scoop collagen powder (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, mix all ingredients.
- On medium, heat up until mixed together, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes or so). Use whisk to incorporate cocoa powder well.
- Serve warm. Can store leftovers in the fridge for a few days. It mixes well with cold coffee to make an iced coffee mix at home (for adults).

That’s It!
So easy to make this and gives you a chance to add just a little something more substantial to this regular holiday treat.
My picky eaters love it but if your kids are having trouble with it, try using only a half cup of broth at first. Or just skip. It’s still good without the broth.
Since it only takes a few ingredients, I will always suggest looking into the best ingredients you can get.
Here is the cocoa powder I use: Organic Cocoa Powder.
Enjoy!
