Oh my goodness, this hot cocoa is incredible! It’s very rich and decadent, save it for your treat days 😉
We discovered this recipe when we enjoyed our Brazilian Feast in my Culinary Journey of eating around the world. The original recipe was extremely thick and not drinkable. It was also a very small amount of hot chocolate, so I adjusted it to fit our family. If you’d like to try to authentic Brazilian Hot Chocolate, Brazilian Kitchen Abroad.
You’ll be using bittersweet dark chocolate for this recipe. I like pure baking chocolate to avoid any of the fillers that chocolate chips have in them.
