A rich and traditional Colombian hot chocolate, often enjoyed for breakfast, characterized by its thick texture and the unique addition of salty cheese. This recipe enhances the classic preparation for a truly authentic experience.

- 4 cups (950ml) Whole milk
- 200g Queso campesino
- 2-4 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)
👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Prepare the cheese: Cut the queso campesino into small cubes, about 1-1.5 cm (1/2 inch) in size. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Melt the chocolate: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and the chocolate tablets. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon. Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, without scorching the bottom. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 3
Sweeten (optional): If using sugar, stir it into the hot chocolate mixture until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Froth the chocolate: Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (small bubbles forming around the edges, but not a rolling boil). Use a traditional molinillo (Mexican whisk) or an immersion blender to vigorously froth the hot chocolate for about 3-5 minutes. The goal is to create a thick, foamy head. If using a molinillo, rub it between your palms and swirl it in the pot. If using an immersion blender, move it around the pot to incorporate air.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Serve: Ladle the hot, frothy chocolate into heatproof mugs or cups. Add a few cubes of the prepared queso campesino to each cup. The cheese will begin to soften and melt into the hot chocolate.
