Frozen Whipped Cream Antlers
- 1 (6.5 oz) can whipped cream (preferably stabilized with gelatin)
- 9 Pocky sticks, split in half
Hot Chocolate & Decorations
- 9 (0.85 oz) packets instant hot chocolate
- 9 red M&M’s
- 18 eyeball sprinkles
- Prepare the Whipped Cream Antlers: On a baking sheet, arrange 9 cupcake liners. Fill each liner to the top with whipped cream, creating mound shapes that will freeze solid to float in the hot chocolate.
- Add Pocky Stick Antlers: Place 2 halves of Pocky sticks on top of each whipped cream mound to resemble antlers. Carefully position them so they stand upright while freezing.
- Freeze Until Solid: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the whipped cream antlers for at least 6 hours or up to 1 month to ensure they are completely solid.
- Prepare Hot Chocolate: Follow the package directions to prepare 9 servings of instant hot chocolate. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, dividing evenly.
- Assemble the Floats: Add one frozen whipped cream antler float to each mug of hot chocolate, allowing it to float and slowly melt.
- Decorate: Place one red M&M on each float as a nose and add two eyeball sprinkles per float for a fun, festive look.
Notes
- Using stabilized whipped cream prevents melting and helps the floats hold their shape longer.
- Freeze the whipped cream floats in cupcake liners for easy removal and shaping.
- Ensure Pocky sticks are split and arranged carefully before freezing to resemble antlers.
- This recipe is perfect for holiday parties or fun winter treats for kids.
- Can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for up to one month.
