Hot chocolate with Nutella paste is delicious and nutritious and is a great drink during the cold winter months.

You can even make frozen chocolate with Nutella - a great dessert to refresh and energize on hot summer days. If you have Nutella milk and chocolate nut butter in your fridge, you can quickly and easily make delicious hot chocolate at home.

Ingredients

Classic Hot Chocolate with Nutella Pasta

• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) Nutella paste
• 1 ⅓ cup (320 ml) milk

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Making Hot Chocolate with Nutella on the Stovetop

1. 1 Place a small saucepan on the stove. Place a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. It is recommended to use a stainless steel saucepan, not aluminum or copper, as they can react with milk.
2. 2 Add Nutella paste and milk. Take 3 tablespoons (about 45 ml) of Nutella Chocolate Nut Paste and add ⅓ cup (80 ml) of milk to it. You can use milk of any fat content, but whole milk will give a creamier taste. You can also use plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or cedar - this is especially useful if you are allergic to dairy products or lactose intolerant.
3. 3 Stir constantly until the chocolate paste is dissolved in the milk. Stir the milk and Nutella paste well with a whisk or spoon until they are completely mixed and become a homogeneous mass - this can take about 5 minutes. As the milk heats up, the Nutella chocolate spread will melt and mix more easily with the milk.
4. 4 Add the remaining milk and turn up the heat. Once the Nutella and milk are combined, add the remaining milk and heat to medium-high.
   • If you want less milk chocolate, reduce the amount of milk by adding only ¾ cup (about 180 ml) of milk.
   • Heat milk over medium-high heat, do not place it over high heat as this can create froth.
5. 5 Mix thoroughly. When you add milk, stir all the ingredients again and then heat, stirring constantly. If you want the hot chocolate to be frothy, whisk it vigorously to create bubbles on the surface.
6. 6 Pour into a mug and serve. Once the hot chocolate is hot and smooth enough, pour it into a mug. For decoration, you can serve it with marshmallows, but be sure to serve and drink hot!

Method 2 of 3: Microwave Nutella Hot Chocolate

1. 1 Pour milk into a microwave-safe glass. You can make hot chocolate with Nutella hazelnut paste in the microwave, but it gets a little tricky because the milk can escape easily. You must be very careful and watch the process in order to stop it in time! Start by pouring 1 ⅓ cup (320 ml) of milk into a mug or other microwave-safe container.
2. 2 Heat on high power. Place the mug in the microwave and preheat on high power for 2 minutes. Do not put milk in for more than 2 minutes, as it may escape.
3. 3 Add the Nutella paste. When the milk is hot, remove the mug from the microwave and add the Nutella Chocolate Butter. Mix thoroughly with a spoon.
4. 4 Stir until the Nutella is dissolved. As you stir the chocolate paste with the milk, you will notice that it begins to melt. Continue stirring until the Nutella has completely melted in the hot milk.
5. 5 Warm up if necessary. If the hot chocolate is not hot enough, place it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then check the temperature of the drink, and if it is still not hot enough, reheat it again. Do not set it for more than 15 seconds to prevent the hot chocolate from escaping. When everything is ready, serve the drink to the table!

Method 3 of 3: Toppings and Additional Supplements

1. 1 Add marshmallows. Marshmallow is a classic addition to any hot chocolate, including hot chocolate with Nutella! Usually, small marshmallows are used for this: they are thrown from above into a mug of hot chocolate. The marshmallow melts a little in a hot drink, but retains its airy delicate texture!
2. 2 Serve with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Another classic way to serve hot chocolate is to top with whipped cream and chocolate or caramel sauce. You can even make your own whipped cream and add coffee or hazelnut flavor to it!
   • To make the drink even more "nutella", you can pour Nutella chocolate spread on top of the whipped cream instead of the chocolate sauce. To do this, simply use a pastry syringe or bag.
3. 3 Add something crunchy to the hot chocolate with Nutella. For a crunchy hot chocolate, add chopped hazelnuts or chocolate chips over the whipped cream. These toppings add texture and flavor to the drink!
4. 4 Add some bourbon to the Nutella hot chocolate. If you're an adult and can drink alcohol, you can add a little bourbon to Nutella hot chocolate. Just add some alcohol to your drink after you finish preparing it, then stir with a spoon.
   • Bourbon is an alcohol that goes well with chocolate. Rum and chocolate liquor also go well with chocolate.

Tips

• Alternatively, you can use coconut, soy, or almond milk instead of regular milk.
• You can add vanilla extract or a cinnamon stick to hot chocolate for a richer taste!
