Best Spanish Hot Chocolate Chocolate A La Taza Recipes
SPANISH HOT CHOCOLATE - CHOCOLATE A LA TAZA
Everyone who goes to Spain has to try the hot chocolate. It's so delicious & can be used to dunk Spanish Churros in for breakfast. This recipe is just for the hot chocolate & I will also add my recipe for Spanish Churros as they really go hand in hand. This has a creamy, thick consistancy, it's very indulgent & can really give us women that chocolate fix we all need from time to time. The recipe can also be adjusted according to taste by adding more/less sugar or even omitting it depending on chocolate used or if you like very sweet drinks. I like to make enough to fill 2 big mugs for my daughter & I. We love it at anytime of the day. My daughter likes to add a squirt of cream & a cadburys flake sprinkled on top. I just prefer it on it's own. Anyway, make it - I'm sure you'll love it.

SPANISH HOT CHOCOLATE: CHOCOLATE A LA TAZA
Steps:
- Break the chocolate into small pieces.
- Warm the milk and chocolate pieces together in a pan on the stove over medium heat.
- Simmer the chocolate and milk, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to boil. When it reaches the boiling point, remove it from the heat. At this point, the mixture won't be very thick yet.
- Allow the mixture to cool for around a minute.
- Return the chocolate mixture to the stove again, and simmer until it boils again.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat source and allow it to cool again.
- Repeat the process of simmering until boiling, then cooling, at least one more time or until you are happy with the thickness.
- The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools, but it's best served warm, accompanied by churros or sweetbreads, of course.

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.
