- Microwave on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until very hot.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a dark roast coffee. You can substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version. If you want to enhance the chocolate flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract. This dessert is also great served with a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hot coffee dessert in large mugs and garnish with a generous dollop of sweetened whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Cake Mix Crinkles for a delightful contrast in textures. Consider adding a pinch of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for an extra touch of elegance.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the hot coffee dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, pour it into a microwave-safe container and heat in short intervals, stirring in between, until warm. Avoid boiling to maintain the texture of the whipped cream.
