About this recipe
Hot cocoa with peanut butter is a creamy drink made with milk, cocoa, peanut butter, sugar, and cinnamon. The peanut butter thickens the cocoa and adds a slightly salty, nutty flavor that pairs well with the chocolate base. Cinnamon enhances the warming character of the drink, while gentle heating helps fully incorporate the peanut butter into the milk. It is a good choice if you want to make a more filling cocoa without adding chocolate.
Ingredients
Servings: 1
300 ml milk
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon sugar
a pinch of cinnamon
Steps
Pour the milk into a saucepan and begin heating it over low heat. Set aside a few tablespoons of the warm milk to mix with the cocoa and peanut butter so they will combine more easily with the rest later.
Stir the cocoa and peanut butter into a few tablespoons of warm milk, then pour the mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Add the sugar and cinnamon.
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the peanut butter combines with the milk and the cocoa is free of lumps. The drink should be hot but not boiling.
Pour the cocoa into a mug and serve immediately. After a moment, you can stir it with a teaspoon, as the peanut butter naturally thickens the drink.
