Recipe: Nutella Hot Chocolate

So I know everyone is probably on their new years resloution health kick thing, but I thought I’d post this amazing hot chocolate recipe anyway! I absolutely love nutella, though I don’t tend to eat it much as it kinda just gets forgotten about in my cupboard until I’m desperate for some chocolate and end up just eating it out of the jar, but who can resist a cup of liquid nutella?!

What you’ll need

1 tbsp nutella
½ tbsp cocoa powder (or more if you like it really chocolatey)
250ml milk
whipped cream (optional)
mini marshmallows (optional)

How to make it

You can make this a couple different ways, depending on how much time you’ve got and the ingredients in your cupboard. The best way to make it is to melt a tablespoon of nutella with a enough milk to fill a glass and a half tablespoon of cocoa powder in a saucepan and just heat it up till its warm and the nutella has fully melted and mixed in.

My cheat method is to mix a tablespoon of nutella and a splash of milk in a cup and heat it in the microwave till the nutella has melted and forms a smooth but runny paste, then add in a few teaspoons of hot chocolate powder and top with hot water (as you would make a normal cup of hot chocolate).

Then I like to top with mini marshmallows so that they go all gooey, then squirt over some whipped cream and finish off with a few more marshmallows! So perfect for a cold winter day, or a relaxing time in the bath!
