Nutella Hot Chocolate Recipe

Hot chocolate, it's the perfect beverage to have on a chilly day. What could possibly be better than snuggling on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and sharing a cup of hot chocolate with your significant other. Talk about winter goals, am I right?

So today, I'm not going to share anything necessarily Christmas related. This is because today is Hanukkah. So to all those celebrating today, Happy Hanukkah!

Instead, I'm going to share my favorite hot chocolate recipe: NUTELLA HOT CHOCOLATE! How magical does that sound?! The answer is very, very magical.

And the best thing about this recipe? You only need three ingredients. Well two, but three if you want to be fancy. All you need is: milk, nutella, and whipped cream. Obviously you don't need the whipped cream, but it makes it look super cute and taste extra yummy.

First, turn on the stove and grab a pot (duh). Then pour one cup of milk into your pot and let the milk heat up. There's no specific amount of time for heating it up. Just make sure your milk doesn't boil and make your milk as hot as you want. For example, I don't like scalding hot chocolate, so mine is never too hot. Plus who likes a burnt tongue? No one!

Next you'll want to add the nutella! Now I did two tablespoons, and it came out a nice dark brown color and it was super sweet. But sometimes I'll just do two spoonfuls and it's a little bit lighter in color and taste. I say, add as much or as little as you want! Make it as sweet as possible or go light on the sweetness. Follow your gut and tastebuds!

Once you add however much nutella as you want, mix it around until it is nice and frothy. Sometimes you'll have a little nutella residue but is that really such a bad thing? When your hot chocolate is all done, pour it into your mug or cup. Make sure you turn off the stove, because burning down your house during the holidays would be a major bummer. And then if you want, add some whipped cream on top! It adds a little extra sweetness and adds some extra cuteness to it too!

And there you have it! Nutella hot chocolate, something so delicious and so simple at the same time! Who would have thought? Hope you enjoy it! Until tomorrow.
