Book of Days Tales

The last Saturday in April is Children’s Day in Colombia. Both kids and adults love a special Colombian treat, hot chocolate with cheese.  You need Colombian dark chocolate and white cheese to be authentic. 

You will need 4 or 5 sticks of Colombian chocolate per person, 1 cup of milk per person, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon and ground cloves per person, sugar to taste, and 4 or 5 cubes of white Colombian cheese per person.

Place the chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, sugar and milk inside a saucepan over medium high heat

Whisk constantly by holding the whisk between your palms and twirling it back and forth as the milk simmers and the chocolate melts. The hot chocolate should be frothy from the constant whisking

Turn off the heat and place the cheese cubes into each cup.

Carefully pour the hot chocolate into each cup and let it sit for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt.

Serve with a spoon.
