"El Abuelito" Recipe

This Hot Chocolate “El Abuelito” is inspired by a late evening craving with my fiancee, who is Colombian. He grew up with a large family who would get together every Sunday brunch with a huge homemade meal and the most important piece: Chocolat y Queso.

His grandmother would faithfully make their family Hot Chocolate from Abuelita ‘tablets’ and then put in Muenster Cheese near the end, so there was gooey, yummy cheese in your Hot Chocolate as you were enjoying it. Can you imagine as a child?!

Back to the present moment: We decided, one late evening, to recreate this memory of his with a healthier chocolate. Enter almond milk & one “Alchemy & Craft” bar (and Organic Muenster cheese).

Ingredients: 1 “Alchemy & Craft” Bar (any flavor) 1 cup milk of choice (we used almond) 2 slices Organic Muenster Cheese Heat milk over low heat until steam is rising from it. Add Alchemy & Craft bar and allow to melt slowly. Stir gently. Do not boil. When completely melted, transfer to mug and add Muenster Cheese. Allow to sit for about 2 minutes to let cheese melt. ENJOY!
