Spanish Hot Chocolate Recipe - Thick Hot Chocolate image

The Spanish hot Chocolate, also known as Chocolate caliente in Spanish, is one of the most popular winter drinks not only in Southern Spain but all around the world. This Spanish Chocolate drink had its origins in the XVIIth century and it used to be consumed only by the Spanish Aristocracy. The idea of the Hot Chocolate actually came from the Mayan Empire, but the Spanish merchants modified the recipe giving it a unique and distinguished flavor.

CLASSIC SPANISH HOT CHOCOLATE DRINK



Classic Spanish Hot Chocolate Drink image

This is so simple but astonishingly delicious. It is just chocolate and milk. The secret to making a creamy, rich, frothy chocolate drink is all in the technique. You just heat it, whisk it, heat it, whisk it etc until it's the thickness you want. And it can get VERY thick. In Spain, this is often breakfast, along with churros. Traditionally, a wooden hand mill called a molinillo was used to whisk it, but a wire whisk or hand held electic whisk works just as well.

NUTELLA HOT CHOCOLATE



Nutella Hot Chocolate image

This is too easy, and is an almost nightly ritual in my house. I've based the measurements on a recipe from another site, but that one calls for water to thin the Nutella. I've never tried it that way. The cooking time is approximate.

Provided by GoKittenGo

Categories     Beverages

Time 6m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 tablespoons nutella
1 1/3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Put Nutella and 1/3 cup milk in small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Whisk until blended.
  • Add remaining milk, increase heat to medium-high, and whisk until hot and frothy.

Tips:

  • When making the chocolate base, use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water.
  • To make the almond milk, use raw almonds that have been soaked overnight. This will make them easier to blend and will result in a smoother almond milk.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor or blender until they reach a fine powder.
  • To make the honey-almond topping, use a light-colored honey for the best flavor. A clover or orange blossom honey would be a good choice.
  • The hot chocolate can be served immediately, or it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it over low heat until it's warm and melted.

Conclusion:

Honey Almond Spanish Hot Chocolate is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of chocolate, almond, and honey is simply irresistible. This hot chocolate is also relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. If you like your hot chocolate sweeter, you can add more honey. If you prefer a thicker hot chocolate, you can add more almond flour. And if you want a more intense chocolate flavor, you can use a darker chocolate. No matter how you make it, Honey Almond Spanish Hot Chocolate is sure to please everyone who tries it.
