Ingredients You'll Need:
1. Mexican Chocolate
To achieve the authentic taste of Mexican hot chocolate, it is essential to use Mexican chocolate instead of regular chocolate bars. Mexican chocolate contains a blend of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, giving it a unique flavor that pairs perfectly with the masa.
2. Masa
As mentioned earlier, masa is a finely ground corn flour that is commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It adds a creaminess and thickness to the hot chocolate, making it a must-have ingredient in this recipe.
3. Milk
To give the hot chocolate its creamy texture, we will be using milk instead of water. You can use any type of milk, whether it be whole, skim, or non-dairy alternatives like almond milk.
4. Sugar
To balance out the spiciness of the Mexican chocolate, we will be adding sugar to the hot chocolate. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer your hot chocolate.
Instructions:
1. Heat milk
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
2. Add Mexican chocolate and sugar
Once the milk is simmering, add in the Mexican chocolate and sugar. Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and well combined.
3. Add masa
Next, add in the masa and continue to whisk until it is fully incorporated into the hot chocolate. The masa will thicken the hot chocolate and give it a creamy texture.
4. Simmer and stir
Let the hot chocolate simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5. Serve and enjoy
Once the hot chocolate is heated through and has reached your desired consistency, it is ready to be served. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows for an extra decadent treat.
Now that you have your delicious and authentic Mexican hot chocolate, grab a cozy blanket and enjoy this warm and indulgent drink. The addition of masa gives this traditional hot chocolate recipe a unique and delicious twist that is sure to become a new favorite in your household.
