What's cooking? Nutella Hot Chocolate.

After searching for the perfect hot chocolate recipe for quite some time I found one that is perfect because it takes about 5 minutes and is satisfying. As the weather is getting cooler I need a hot drink to sip whilst cuddled up in a blanket, basking in the warmth of the heater.

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 tbsp Nutella
• 2 tsp white or brown sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/5 cup boiling water
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cocoa powder to serve
• Whipped Cream to serve
• Cinnamon stick (optional) 

Directions

1. In a saucepan on medium-heat add Nutella, salt and sugar.
2. Whisk together while adding in the water slowely.
3. Stir and simmer, be careful that the Nutella doesn't burn!
4. Pour in the milk and stir on low-heat, make sure it doesn't boil.
5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. 
6. Pour into your glass or mug.
7. Swirl on the desired amount of whipped cream on top and dust on cocoa powder.
8. Poke the cinnamon stick into the cream and serve. Watch your tongue though as it is going to be hot!
