Hot Peppermint Mocha & 20+ Peppermint Recipes
Hot Peppermint Mocha is perfect for those cozy winter nights at home. It’s a dessert in a mug that you can serve at your next holiday party! Plus I’m sharing 20 more delicious peppermint recipes & lots of other holiday treats that you’ll love!
This is so delicious that I can actually see drinking it for breakfast on Christmas morning. Envision sitting and opening gifts with a steaming mug of this hot peppermint mocha in hand. Since my kiddos are grown I will probably whip up a mug for each of them and serve it with my usual Christmas Morning Panettone French Toast. Yum!
Hot Peppermint Mocha Coffee
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Coffee mate® Italian sweet cream creamer
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 square Ghiradelli® peppermint bark
- 1 tsp sugar or sweetener of choice
- whipped cream to cover
- red or green sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Brew strong hot coffee in a French press
- Add cocoa, then crumble peppermint bark, and stir
- Add sugar and coffee creamer, stir
- Pour into mug and top with whipped cream
- With a cookie cutter shaped like a Christmas tree, sprinkle colored sugar inside the edges of the cookie cutter to create the shape of a tree
- Add crumbled peppermint bark around the inside perimeter of the coffee mug
This is so delicious and I know that you’ll make it often! If you love the taste of peppermint though, I have some additional recipes below. In this first recipe…I hate to even call it that because it’s as easy peasy as pie. Actually easy as cheesecake and all that I did was to embellish a store bought cheesecake with PEPPERMINT. Give me peppermint everything during the holiday season! Did you know that eating peppermint clears the palette, soothes the tummy and can give you fresher breath?

Thank you for all these peppermint recipes. I’m anxious to try making many of them for the holidays. .
Peppermint anything is my favorite! And that peppermint mocha looks so yummy! I love the sparkly tree on top! So creative Janet…
I really crave peppermint at this time of year!
I wish I liked coffee so I could have this just exactly like your recipe – it looks completely wonderful! The decorations alone … ! 💗 I’ll definitely make the hot chocolate version! Thanks for corralling the other peppermint treats too, I can’t wait for a dessert day!
This would definitely work with hot cocoa and be delicious! I must have coffee…all day long, lol
This looks delicious!! Perfect for chilly holiday weather!
It’s such a comforting hot drink!
Would love to see the recipe for the brownie peppermint cheesecake featured in this post.
Where can I find it?
Hi Deborah…as mentioned in the article “all that I did was to embellish a store bought cheesecake with PEPPERMINT”! I got the cheesecake from Fresh Market
