Chocolate de Maní Caliente ~ Hot Peanut ‘Cocoa’

It might surprise you to know that Chocolate de Maní Caliente does not have any chocolate in it. The delicious Dominican delight is a Hot Peanut ‘Cocoa’ and is as deliciously deceptive as its name. It is actually a peanut-flavored milk drink that is served hot.

This Chocolate de Maní Caliente is a Dominican recipe and surprisingly good and easy to make. It is made with unsalted roasted peanuts, milk, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and ground nutmeg. Pour the mixture into a pot, add cinnamon sticks and cloves, then boil the combination for 10 minutes. After that, take the cinnamon and cloves out, garnish with nutmeg and serve.

The Dominican Hot Peanut ‘Cocoa’ is delicious in the morning with a Mango Fruit Dip and a few Dominican Empanadas.
