Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups plain milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Optional Toppings
- Marshmallows
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating and prevent a skin from forming. Continue heating until the milk is steaming hot and just about to simmer, but do not allow it to boil.
- Add Nutella: Once the milk is hot, add the Nutella and the fine sea salt to the saucepan.
- Whisk until combined: Use a whisk to vigorously stir the mixture until the Nutella fully melts and incorporates smoothly with the milk, creating a creamy and uniform hot chocolate base.
- Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot chocolate into mugs.
- Add toppings and enjoy: Top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings as desired. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, velvety drink.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including almond, oat, soy, or regular dairy milk.
- Do not boil the milk to maintain a smooth texture and avoid scorching.
- Adjust the amount of Nutella for a sweeter or milder chocolate flavor.
- Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for additional flavor.
- The drink is best served fresh and hot for the richest taste.
