Ingredients
- 2 Marshmallows
- 2 sachets instant cocoa powder (or 3-4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 400ml Milk
- 2 Tbsp Nutella
- Chocolate pen (for decorating, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your marshmallow toppers. Use a chocolate pen to draw cute designs, faces, or even write a sweet message on the marshmallows. This is a fun way to personalize your hot chocolate! If you don’t have a chocolate pen, you can skip this step and use plain marshmallows.
Step 2
Pour 400ml of milk into a saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Warm the milk until it’s steaming and small bubbles form around the edges, but avoid boiling it vigorously. This ensures the cocoa powder dissolves smoothly.
Step 3
Pour about 200ml of the warmed milk into your serving mug. Add the 2 sachets of cocoa powder (or 3-4 Tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder). Whisk thoroughly until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and no lumps remain. If you encounter any lumps, gently reheat the mixture in the saucepan and whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Now, for the star ingredient: Nutella! Add 2 tablespoons of Nutella to the mug with the cocoa mixture. Pour in the remaining 200ml of warm milk. Stir everything together until the Nutella is fully melted and incorporated, creating a lusciously smooth and chocolatey base.
Step 5
Your decadent Nutella Hot Chocolate is ready to be enjoyed! Gently place the decorated marshmallows on top of the hot beverage. Watch as they bobble delightfully. Sip slowly and savor the rich, comforting flavors that are sure to warm you from the inside out.
