Nutella Hot Chocolate
Nutella Hot Chocolate is a rich, indulgent sipping chocolate with Nutella mixed right in! Top it with whipped cream and hazelnuts for the ultimate treat.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups milk
- 8 oz heavy cream, (1 cup)
- 12 oz Nutella, (1 ¼ cups)
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk often as the mixture heats up, and continue to whisk and cook the hot chocolate until the chocolate and Nutella are melted, and everything is smooth and homogenous.
- Serve in small cups, topped with the garnishes of your choice. Whipped cream, fudge sauce, and toasted hazelnuts all work very well.
Recipe Notes
This recipe is quite rich and thick; I find a little goes a long way. This recipe yields about 6 cups of hot chocolate, but most people will probably be satisfied with a smaller (1/2 cup) serving, so if you follow the serving suggestion you’ll get about 12 servings from the recipe.
MEASURING TIPS
Our recipes are developed using weight measurements, and we highly recommend using a kitchen scale for baking whenever possible. However, if you prefer to use cups, volume measurements are provided as well. PLEASE NOTE: the adage “8 oz = 1 cup” is NOT true when speaking about weight, so don’t be concerned if the measurements don’t fit this formula.
