It seems today is World Nutella Day and as I didn't want to be left out of the fun, I decided to concoct a little something using the famous hazelnut spread. Our favorite way to enjoy Nutella is usually to spread it on some hot crèpes, roll them up and eat way too many! But since I didn't have time to make crèpes today, I thought I could make a Nutella Hot Chocolate.
It worked very well. The Nutella is sweet enough that this doesn't need any extra sugar and a half teaspoon or so of instant espresso powder doesn't hurt either. Perfect for a cold afternoon, knitting, reading or... doing laundry... Whatever fun things come your way! :)
Nutella Hot Chocolate
1 cup milk
1 tbsp Nutella
1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk all three ingredients together until well combined, warm and frothy. If it's too sweet, add a little more milk. Serve in your favorite mug. Enjoy!

I love this idea. I never would have thought to use Nutella in hot chocolate! Yum.
Oh, that sounds absolutely divine.
No Way! Hot Chocolate? Why didn't I think of that???
Your hot chocolate is such a great idea, I linked your post to my Nutella post! Hope you don't mind!
I love nutella so I will be sure to try this, especially now that is is 20 degrees outside and I am freezing.
Couldn't we *all* use some hot chocolate today, eh? :) Looks so comforting!
My goodness, this sounds fantastic. Decadent. Sinful. So for me.
Yum yum, liquid nutella!
wow...now THIS is a brilliant idea! Specially with this cold weather ;-)
thanks for sharing and happy World Nutella Day!

Nutella hot chocolate? ...drooling! Yay another awesome Nutella recipe!
Ooh great idea! I guess you can make hot chocolate with a lot more than just chocolate! :)
Ooo, this is an awesome idea!
Hazelnut and chocolate are so lovely together... I bet this was heavenly!
great idea, lyb! hot chocolate is my winter staple, and nutella is simply a staple year-round. :)
MMM this looks perfect.
How clever! I can't wait to try and am bummed that I forgot about World Nutella Day.
I wish every day was World Nutella Day!
simple, chocolatey, nutella-y. Yum! I like the espresso addition.
Very inspiring this Nutella hot chocolate.
Geez, apparently I missed WND and didn't even know it. I'll have to have a beaver tail w/ Nutella to make up for it.
I think I'm going to make one of these later, just perfect for the cold snap we are having!
Great entry!
Nutella is a favorite of mine (Nutella ice cream is amazing) so I can't believe I missed World Nutella Day.
I will have to get ready for next year by drinking Nutella hot chocolate.
Mmmm, I just made myself a cup of this hot chocolate! It's definitely worth it, it tastes so much better than the usual powder in everyone's kitchen cupboards. I had to use instant coffee powder instead, so I just added a touch bit more, it turned out to have a nice coffee after taste :) Next time I'm at the supermarket, I'm going to look for some espresso powder so I can try it how it should be made! 5 stars!
What a pity! I just knew about the Nutella day after the 9 february. I'd love to prepared something with that yummy chocolate cream and post at my blog.
That sounds sublime! I miss Nutella day (wah!) but I'm enjoying all the recipes! Big Nutella fan here :)
Hi LyB!
I just finished an article and linked your hot chocolate to it. If you'd like me to include a photo in a slide show, let me know?
