I wanted to share an easy, yummy hot chocolate recipe with you as the chilly weather sets in. It includes one of the best ingredients ever - Nutella! Try it out, and tell me what you think!
Ingredients:
One serving
*1c milk (I used skim because it makes me feel better about topping it off with whipped cream...but use whatever you like)
* 1 or 2tbsp Nutella, depending on how sweet you like it
* 1 tsp instant coffee or espresso
* pinch of salt
* Easy whipped cream, recipe below (optional)
* Unsweetened coco powder, to garnish (optional)
* Chocolate sandwich cookie, biscotti, or chocolate straw, to garnish (optional)
 |
| Combine all non-optional ingredients in a small saucepan |
 |
| Heat on medium until melted together and heated through. |
 |
| Stir occasionally, until frothy. |
 |
| Pour into pretty mug. Yes, this will make it taste better. |
|
| Top with garnishes. Enjoy! |
Easy Whipped Cream
* 2tbsp heavy/whipping cream, cold
* 1/4tsp pure vanilla extract
* heavy pinch sugar
 |
| Put bowl and whisk in freezer until cold. This will help facilitate the beating process. |
 |
| Add cream and vanilla. Beat until slightly thickened. Add sugar. |
 |
| Keep beating until soft peaks form. * You could do this with an electric beater, but you'd miss out on an awesome bicep workout :) Who am I kidding? I don't care about biceps...I care about whipped cream! |
 |
| Hi. I'm a soft peak. |
Happy eating,
Noora
