Ingredients
Nutella Hot Chocolate
- 1 cup milk (I use skim, but you can make this even richer with whole milk or anything in between)
- 2½ Tbsp Nutella
- 1 Tbsp Cocoa
- Tiny pinch of salt
Homemade Whipped Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a small sauce pan over low-medium heat, whisk all ingredients together until well blended and hot (but not boiling)
-
Pour in a cup and top with homemade whipped cream and shaved chocolate
For whipped cream
-
Place a medium bowl and your beaters from your electric mixer in the freezer for 10 minutes (this helps the whipped cream stiffen faster and is a brilliant tip everyone should know)
-
Pour heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract into a bowl and begin to beat on medium speed. You’ll start to see peaks forming.
-
Whip for two to three minutes depending on the strength and speed of your beaters—when the cream forms frothy peaks, it’s done. It’s important not to overbeat because you want this to sort of melt in a cloud-like way.
