Best Chocolate Caliente De Espania Recipes
CHOCOLATE CALIENTE - SPANISH HOT CHOCOLATE TOO
Rich and delicious, for the strong at heart chocolate lover. Serve with churros or magdelenas. I have also posted a version made with milk chocolate in place of the unsweetened and sugar. Serving size depends on how much chocolate you can handle.

Steps:
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the cornstarch. Whisk to dissolve the cornstarch. Once the cornstarch is dissolved, heat the milk on medium heat just until it boils, then remove from heat.
- Add the chocolate and sugar immediately and begin stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and sugar is disolved. If the milk cools off too fast, place the pan back on the stove on low heat to melt the chocolate.
- Place the pan back on the stove on medium low heat, stirring slowly, but constantly. (Do not cook the mixture over high heat because it may cause lumping.) Taste the chocolate for sweetness and add more sugar if necessary. The mixture should thicken quickly. As soon as you see it thicken, remove the pan from the heat so the cornstarch will not thin. Ladle immediately into cups and serve piping hot.
- Note: Be sure to use a clean spoon every time you taste the chocolate. Enzymes from your mouth can cause a thickened cornstarch mixture to thin.

CHOCOLATE CALIENTE DE ESPANIA
This hot chocolate is one of those fond memories from childhood. In Spain, this drink is often sold at breakfast time with churros. Home versions are eaten with toasty bread. The consistency is thicker than other hot chocolate drinks. It should stick to the spoon, but not be as heavy as a pudding.

Steps:
- 1. The chocolate needs to be broken down. It can be shaved by hand or a quick couple of pulses in the food processor or blender. Pieces should not be much bigger than a grain of rice. This is so melting will be smooth and not scorched nor seized up.
- 2. Pour milk, sugar, and add chocolate to a heavy pan. Heat over medium stirring constantly to keep from burning. Once chocolate starts to bubble, turn down heat and let simmer. Cover 15 minutes.
- 3. Check consistency. Chocolate should stick to the spoon but still pour. If too thick, add more milk and heat to a boil while stirring. If too thin, turn up heat and stir until desired thickness is achieved. Some people will also add cornstarch at this phase if too thin.
