Indulge in the Richness: A Decadent Hot Chocolate Recipe
When it comes to treating yourself, why settle for anything less than the best? Take your hot chocolate game to the next level by adding a spoonful of creamy almond butter. The result is a velvety, indulgent drink that’s reminiscent of a melted peanut butter cup, minus the peanut flavor.
The Perfect Ingredients
To create this luxurious treat, you’ll need a few high-quality ingredients. Start with rich, 41% milk chocolate – we recommend El Rey for its exceptional flavor. You’ll also need almond butter, which can be found in health food stores or upscale grocery shops. If you can’t track it down, natural peanut butter makes a suitable substitute.
A Simple yet Satisfying Recipe
This easy recipe yields two delicious drinks and can be prepared in just 10 minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces good-quality milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
Prepare to Indulge
Combine the milk and cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture simmers (about 4 minutes). Next, add the chopped chocolate and whisk until it’s fully incorporated and melted (about 2 minutes). Finally, stir in the almond butter until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately and savor the richness.
With this decadent hot chocolate recipe, you’ll be spoiled for anything less. So go ahead, treat yourself to a cup (or two) and enjoy the indulgent flavors of almond butter and rich chocolate.
