Mexican Hot Chocolate Sauce

nerdygourmet

I love chocolate on just about anything. This sauce is not only dark and decadent, it also packs deep flavor and spicy, back of the tongue kick. It’s absolutely perfect for late night snacking.

When Carlota walked in, the first thing she noticed was the exquisite smell of bread and hot chocolate floating in the air among the tapestries. Her stomach rumbled with such force that she thought everyone must have heard it….. The pope spoke a few words to her, but she wasn’t listening: she was fixated on the steaming cup of thick chocolate in which His Holiness was dipping bread.

Nerdy Tip

  • don’t have a double boiler? Try using two mixing bowls with hot water in the bottom bowl.
  • try dipping a fresh, warm Bolillo roll in my Mexican Hot Chocolate Sauce. Weird but delish!!

Have you tried making these rolls or the hot chocolate dip?? I’d love to hear your feedback. Please comment and rate! Peace & love, jenni
