Ingredients for Ibarra Hot Chocolate Lovers

How to Make Ibarra Hot Chocolate Lovers
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk and chopped Ibarra chocolate.
- Add the scraped vanilla bean and its seeds to the saucepan.
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and warm (do not boil).
- Remove from heat. Using a molinillo (traditional Mexican whisk) or a frother, whisk vigorously until the hot chocolate is frothy and slightly thickened. This will take approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Pour into mugs.
- Top with whipped cream (optional) and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Serve immediately with your favorite Mexican sweet bread or cookies and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
