Chocolate Caliente con Kahlua

Interested in a hot chocolate for grownups? This one is prepared with earthy Mexican chocolate and Kahlua, a coffee-flavored liqueur for a little extra warmth on a chilly evening. We first tried this drink at a gallery opening in San Miguel de Allende. They were serving it to the guests instead of the typical cheap white wine. A great decision in our book. We were told that it is very popular in San Luis Potosí. We don’t know if that is true but it is very popular with us.

Mexican Kahlua Hot Chocolate Recipe

How to Make

You will need 3 cups of milk, 1 Mexican chocolate tablet, 3 ounces of Kahlua, and 2 cinnamon sticks. To froth the chocolate you will need a wooden molinillo or a wire whisk. The recipe makes to two 12oz. cups but you can easily increase the recipe to serve at your next party.

The chocolate tablet contains piloncillo, a very rustic brown sugar, and cinnamon. If you have never tried Mexican chocolate, you should because it’s a real treat. The flavor is earthy and the texture is rustic.

Where to Buy

The most common Mexican chocolate brands are Abuelita and Ibarra brands. If you can’t find Mexican chocolate at your local supermarket, you can order artisanal chocolate made in Oaxaca through HERNÁN, specialists in premium Mexican food and kitchenware. (BUY)
