Submarino - Argentine Hot Chocolate

Experience the warmth and comfort of Submarino, a beloved Argentine hot chocolate drink that delights both adults and children alike. This indulgent treat features a rich piece of dark chocolate, known as the 'submarine', which gracefully melts into a cup of steaming hot milk, creating a velvety, chocolatey elixir. Traditionally enjoyed during the colder months, Submarino is not only a drink but a moment of joy shared among loved ones. Perfect for cozy evenings or a sweet pick-me-up!

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Sugar (to taste)
  • Dark chocolate bar (1 (approximately 100g), high-quality)
  • Milk (2 cups, whole or your preferred milk)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon (optional))
  • Cinnamon (a pinch (optional))

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  2. While the milk is heating, place the chocolate bar into a large mug. You can break it into smaller pieces for quicker melting.
  3. Once the milk is hot, carefully pour it over the chocolate in the mug, allowing the chocolate to sit for a moment to soften.
  4. Stir the mixture gently with a spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and fully incorporated into the milk.
  5. Add sugar to taste, along with the optional vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon if desired. Stir well to combine.
  6. Enjoy your Submarino immediately, savoring the rich flavors and the delightful experience of watching the chocolate melt.
