Description
A rich and creamy Peanut Butter Nutella Hot Chocolate perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk of choice (whole milk for extra richness, or plant-based alternatives like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural preferred)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Whipped cream or mini marshmallows
- Drizzle of Nutella
- Chopped roasted peanuts or crushed hazelnuts
- Cinnamon stick (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pour your chosen milk into a small saucepan and gently heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Warming the milk slowly ensures a velvety texture for your hot chocolate base.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, peanut butter, and Nutella. Add a few tablespoons of the warm milk to help blend these rich ingredients smoothly before combining with the rest of the milk.
- Slowly pour the warm milk into your cocoa-peanut butter-Nutella mixture, whisking continuously until everything is fully blended and silky. Add sugar or your preferred sweetener gradually, tasting to reach the perfect level of sweetness. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Return the combined mixture to the saucepan if needed and gently heat until piping hot but not boiling, stirring constantly to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Pour your Peanut Butter Nutella Hot Chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, a drizzle of Nutella, or chopped nuts for extra indulgence. Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy drink.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
