Why bother putting it on the stove when you could put it in the microwave?

Question

Can I vary the amount of the Nutella in the recipe?

Community Answer

Of course! If you add more Nutella, your drink will be sweeter and thicker. If you use less Nutella, your drink will be thinner and more milky instead.

Question

Can I use a microwave to make this?

Community Answer

Yes, you can, but be careful. The Nutella is more likely to burn, and it will melt quicker than when using a stove and saucepan. Heat the Nutella at 10 to 15 second increments, and stir it often.

What happens if I use a rusty pot?

The rust may blend in when heated, so use a normal stainless-steel one.

Question

Can we make it with cold milk?

Community Answer

No, since you need to melt the Nutella for it to be able to diffuse. You could cool the drink in the refrigerator, but it might not be very tasty.

Question

Mine doesn't taste at all like I expected it to. Did I do something wrong?

Community Answer

Did you use the right amount of milk? Nutella has a strong taste, so you might want to add more milk if the taste was too much for you.

Question

Does the milk have to be fat-free?

Community Answer

No, you can use whole milk or even 2% milk instead. Keep in mind that Nutella isn't exactly fat-free, so using whole milk or 2% milk will give you a richer drink.

Question

If I add some chocolate bars, will it be better, or will this make it bad?

Community Answer

It wouldn't make it bad, but it might tone down the flavor of the hazelnut. If that's your preference, then go for it!

Since Nutella is so rich and creamy, using full cream milk might be too much cream. However, it is worth a try.

Question

What happens when the Nutella burns?

Community Answer

Burnt Nutella won't integrate with the milk and become hot chocolate. It also will affect the taste so that the Nutella will taste acrid instead of rich and chocolatey.
