Adult Hot Chocolate Made with Nutella and Fortified Spirits



From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Sometimes this is a tough job. I had to test this recipe over and over again to get the proportions just right for you. Obviously, I couldn't recommend the spirits used to spike the hot chocolate without first verifying they were compatible with its Nutella base. They are! If you are looking for a special bedtime or fireside drink, I think you might enjoy this one. It's special. Here's the recipe.

Adult Hot Chocolate with Nutella and Fortified Spirits...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite

Ingredients:
1/3 cup Nutella
1-1/3 cups milk, divided use
2 jiggers spirits (i.e. Jamesons, Baileys, Frangelico Kahlua)
Garnish: Whipped cream and cocoa powder

Directions:
1) Place Nutella and 1/3 cup milk in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until blended.
2) Add reserved 1 cup milk, increase heat to medium-high, and whisk until hot and frothy. Pour into two 8-oz. coffee mugs. Pour 1 jigger (shot glass) of desired spirit into each glass and stir well. Top with heavy cream and sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 servings.

    Yum! Think we might have to test them all too before we decide on our favorite fortification.

    Very tough job indeed, I feel sorry for you:)

    Perhaps vodka will work as well since its neutral tasting. And because its neutral I suppose the amount can be increased, substantially...!

    Please clarify just how many bottles of Bailey's, etc. were used in the perfecting of this recipe. Thank you!

    Isn't that interesting... I don't think I've seen nutella hot chocolate before... duh what a great idea... and the fortification takes it over the top! Glad you did so much taste testing for us... must have been soooo hard!

    Ohh, Mary, this sounds delicious. Have you heard of Speculoos paste? They sell it pretty much everywhere here in France (there was even an article about it in this week's NYT) I can imagine hot speculoos milk with some amaretto...and then nutella hot chocolate!

    Oh, Mary...this looks like the most perfect drink to have tonight with my husband, after we put the kids to bed! I luckily don't have to be up for work at 4am tomorrow morning, so we were talking about relaxing tonight and I'm pretty sure I have Baileys and Kahlua--if not, it will be added to the list of things I need my husband to stop and get on his way home! I've never tried Nutella, but hear such great things about it!
