Cozy up with this rich and Creamy Abuelita Hot Chocolate, an authentic Mexican-style treat made with NESTLÉ ABUELITA Authentic Mexican Hot Chocolate Drink. Milk and heavy cream are gently heated together, then the chocolate tablet is whisked in until fully dissolved and the mixture turns smooth, frothy and velvety. Traditionally frothed with a molinillo for that signature foam, every mug is warm, chocolatey and comforting with hints of cinnamon. The perfect drink to share on chilly evenings, holidays and festive family gatherings.
