Base Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk (or milk of your choice)
- 3 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon
- Chocolate shavings
- Chopped toasted peanuts
- Warm the milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and gently heat it on medium-low until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
- Melt the Nutella and peanut butter: Add the Nutella and peanut butter directly into the warm milk and stir continuously until both spreads dissolve fully, forming a rich, uniform mixture.
- Add cocoa powder and sweetener: Stir in the cocoa powder and sugar (if using), whisking to avoid lumps and adjusting sweetness to your preference.
- Infuse vanilla: Add a splash of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor with a smooth, aromatic finish.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into your favorite mug and top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon for an indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture without graininess.
- Heat milk gently on low to avoid scorching and preserve delicate flavors.
- Whisk frequently to ensure all ingredients melt evenly and no lumps form.
- Adjust sugar gradually to find the perfect sweetness without overpowering the nutty chocolate flavors.
- Enjoy immediately for the best warmth and texture.
