Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Hazelnut pieces (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: Pour 2 cups of milk into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat. Heat the milk until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  2. Add Nutella and Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1/4 cup Nutella and 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips into the warm milk. Use a whisk to continuously stir the mixture until the Nutella and chocolate chips are completely melted and the hot chocolate is smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with hazelnut pieces for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a richer, creamier texture, or substitute with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust the amount of Nutella and chocolate chips to make the hot chocolate sweeter or more intense according to your taste.
  • For an extra flavor twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract while heating the milk.
  • Garnishing with toasted hazelnuts enhances the nutty flavor of the Nutella.
