Listen, I know that nobody needs an excuse to eat Nutella. You don’t even have to put it on anything—it goes great with spoons. However, I am giving you an excuse to drink Nutella, which may not have crossed your mind yet. If we could only get Nutella-flavored oxygen into those weird oxygen bars, you could even breathe Nutella, but I may be getting a bit ahead of myself. Let’s stick to the joy of being able to drink it for now…
Nutella Hot Chocolate (makes 2 servings).
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup NutellaÂ
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of sea salt
fresh whipped cream (optional)
Add your milk to a small pot and heat the milk over low-medium heat until warm (don’t let the milk boil; just warm it slowly).Â
Once the milk has warmed, add your Nutella and stir regularly with a whisk until all the spread has dissolved. Add the cinnamon and salt, and stir until combined. Pour into mug and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream.
This hot chocolate is a little on the rich side, but I love the combination of the cinnamon with the chocolate hazelnut goodness of the Nutella. It just adds a touch of warmth, and the dash of salt really kicks all the flavors up a notch too. I am a big fan of hot drinks in front of the fireplace as the cold weather approaches, and I think this will be a big hit in our house this year. Now let’s get working on that Nutella-flavored air—who’s with me!? xo. Laura

This is ridiculous!!! YUMMMO!
I’ve just made it ! It’s delicious, but one cup will be enough, it feeds quite well !!
Jif has a salted caramel hazelnut spread. If you use that verses the regular Nutella and (maybe) skip the cinnamon… OMG it is for flipping delicious!
Just made this and it is amazing! Thanks for the recipe Laura!
Oh my god! I need to try this now

Just sent this as a link to my friend who is obsessed with Nutella. Why does something so amazing have to be so fatty!
In PR since he have hot weather we have Nutella frappes’s… AMAZING!
Hmm, that’s odd! Maybe add it in at the end when the liquid is hot and whisk while you sprinkle it slowly? Glad it tasted good though!
Laura 🙂
I made something similar last winter (without the cinnamon and cream) will have to try it this way next time. It sounds delicious!

I made this last night and it was AMAZING!! Although I found that the Cinnamon didn’t mix into it very well and sunk to the bottom? Still delicious though. The salt made it even better!
Oh sweet sugary goodness this looks delicious and a perfect treat now it’s getting a bit chillier!

I live the in US Virgin islands it’s 80 degrees or hotter every single day so I shared it on facebook urging someone in a cold climate to please try this. HOLY DELISH.

This sounds amazing, I love cinnamon and Nutella but never thought of adding salt before. I love the cinnamon jar by the way.
http://zoeshappylife.blogspot.co.uk/
I’m definitely going to make this for my husband and I. Looks and sounds delicious.
Now this could get dangerous. I try not to keep Nutella in my house because I can eat an entire jar in less than a week… but I might just have to go buy a jar this weekend!
MMMMM! Looks scrumptious!

Nutella & cinnamon is the new PB&J. I’d be down to make this with almond milk. Mmmm. :] // http://www.itscarmen.com ☼ ☯
This would be so brilliant to serve during the winter. Pinning!

Whaaaaat? OMG I can’t believe I haven’t thought of this! Now I wonder what a nutella flavoured latte would taste like?
naughty deliciousness…

It’s from Kate Spade Saturday 🙂 -Jacki
I have made a version of this recipe before and I am here to attest, it is MIND-BLOWING. I never make regular hot chocolate after having this. Love the idea of a dash of sea salt for that salty-sweet flavor profile.

You’re spoon! Where it is from?
This is ingenieus!! Perfect for the upcoming cold months 🙂
Liefs,

Great blog. The choccolate is perfect. I’m going to do it by myself.
This looks to good to be true?
This looks insanely good! I’ve kind of sworn off of hot chocolate, mostly just because the powdered stuff is kind of disappointing. But this looks delicious and easy to make! I think it’s time for a treat. 🙂
Sooo, now I’m thinking nutella latte could be a thing! A very delicious thing. Yum!
We’re having a holiday party on Dec. 6 and I might try to make a huge batch of this. Crockpot maybe?
Carley, I’m with ya! As soon as I read the title to this post, I said, “Yes, please.” YUM! Everything is better with Nutella!! Great idea, Laura!!
Yummy! I’m going to have to try this out! I’ve made some Nutella Milk before and it was sooooo delicious, so I can only imagine how great this would be too.

“It goes great with spoons” – made me laugh out loud, that’s the way I usually go 😉
It sounds amazing! Definitely going to give this a try!!

True story. Just opened a jar of nutella and I’m eating it off the spoon. Clicked on my bloglovin feed and here you are with this hot chocolate. Oh my gosh. So good. I want it all the time!
This is a beautiful hot chocolate! I own a cafe, and we started a new winter hot choc menu last week – maybe I need to do a little Nutella special one?!
Yes please!
I’m on a huge hot chocolate kick now that the weather is getting colder and this sounds just delightful!
Thanks for sharing, Laura 🙂
