Puerto Rican Hot Chocolate

Hey guys so when I was younger and it was the cold months my grandma would prepare hot chocolate for me and my little sister. We are Puerto Rican so she would make Hot Chocolate differently from what most people are used to.

For the chocolate she would boil a couple cups of milk and drop in an equal amount of tabs of Chocolate Cortes and stir that into the milk on a low flame.

While thats working its magic she would cut up cubes of Queso Estilo Holandes or Holland style cheese. it is a sharp cheese thats wrapped in a red wax. so she would cut that up into tiny cubes and drop a few cubes into our cups.

When the chocolate has fully combined with the milk and boiled on low for a few minutes she would pour it into our cups over the cubbed Holland cheese. She would let it sit for a minute to make sure the cheese melts a bit and she would then serve it to us.

So at the end of a nice sweet and salty cup of hot chocolate is a nice reward of sweet chocolaty cheese!



bon appetit
