Nutella Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream

Pin It Now!

Oh Boy Hot Chocolate....

But not just any hot chocolate, this is a simple, fast version, only 2 ingredients (not counting the whipped cream that I will get to in a second), comes together in minutes and is LOADED with the unique flavors of that Hazelnut infused Chocolate spread... The legendary Nutella!

I did to[ this off with a dollop of fresh made whipped cream.  Believe it or not, but there is a recipe for a better whipped cream (see below).  Just a little sweeter, and best of all, just a little bit stiffer, with a secret ingredient that makes the whipped cream more stable, making it stay that beautiful consistency longer, even when left out on the counter for an hour or more.

It's been cold outside recently... Snow, ice... conditions perfect for a warm blanket, overstuffed chair, a good book and a cup of Hot Chocolate.  Why not make the cup something special?

Enjoy.  Keep scrolling down for the easy to follow recipe for the chocolate, as well as the whipped cream secret.  Pssst... It sure does help if you have a stand mixer...

OK, Here's What I Did...

Nutella Hot Chocolate

Ingredients
  • 1-1/3 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1/3 Cup Nutella
  • FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM
    1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp white Karo Corn Syrup
Mixing Directions
  1. Over low heat, in  a small pot, mix the milk and the Nutella,  Stir until combined
  2. Heat until there is a steam coming from the pot without boiling the milk.
  3. FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM
    Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the whipping cream.
  4. Using the whisk attachment, Start the mixer on slow, adding speed every 20 seconds until you reach the 4th setting.  
  5. Continue to whisk until there is the beginning of a stiff consistency.  While the whisk is running, add the powdered sugar, continue whisking for 30 seconds.  
  6. Next, with the whisk still running, drizzle the corn syrup into the whipped cream for abother 30 seconds.  By now you should have very thick stiff whipped cream.  Store covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
