How to make a Nutella hot chocolate

It’s no secret that I love Nutella which is probably the German in me coming through! I am sometimes surprised that I like it seeing I generally am not much of a chocolate eater, but there’s just something about it.  I’ve blogged about Nutella once before, too!

When I mentioned making a Nutella hot chocolate the other day I got a number of replies from people curious about it and I realised I couldn’t really sum it up well in just one tweet so decided to make a blogpost about it which also allows me to finally use the much underused cooking category of my blog. The image at the top is from @sahfenn who simply takes much better pictures than me!

Will I like a Nutella hot chocolate? Yes, if one or all of the following apply to you:

• Do you love Nutella?
• Do you love hot chocolate?
• Do you love creamy hot chocolate?
• Do you love hot chocolate that doesn’t feel heavy?

Word of advice before you’re attempting this – You will run out of Nutella and milk a lot quicker than you can imagine as it is seriously addictive.

How to make Nutella hot chocolate:

1. Get a saucepan.
2. Measure as much milk as you want to use. I generally go for 1/2 pint.
3. Measure about a heaped tea spoon of Nutella and add to the milk.
4. Use a whisk to completely stir the Nutella into the milk.
5. Heat the milk whilst stirring vigorously to create more bubbles.
6. Either bring the milk to a boil [which is great if you love the skin on your hot chocolate, like I do] or turn off the heat just before boiling.
7. Stir for another 30 seconds to get as many bubbles as you possibly can.
8. Pour the mixture into a cup.
9. Wait at least four minutes before drinking. Trust me!
10. Enjoy!
