Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups plain milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Optional Toppings
- Marshmallows
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Heat the milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk while stirring occasionally until it is steaming hot but not boiling. The milk should almost reach a simmer to ensure the best texture for the hot chocolate.
- Add Nutella: Stir in the Nutella and fine sea salt, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined with no lumps.
- Serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Garnish with optional toppings such as marshmallows, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings, then enjoy your warm, delicious drink immediately.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer – dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy milk will all work well.
- Avoid boiling the milk to prevent a skin from forming and to keep the drink smooth.
- Toppings add extra flavor and texture but can be omitted for a simpler drink.
- Adjust Nutella amount to taste for a richer or lighter chocolate flavor.
