Report

This warm, thick, creamy, flavorful chocolate de maní (roasted peanut 'cocoa') was a popular weekend breakfast tradition in my family, and very much worth trying.

Instructions

1. Blending

Blend the roasted peanuts with the milk and half of the sugar. This may take some time; we don't want it to have a grainy texture. I ran the blender for 3 minutes at full speed, cleaned the sides with a spatula, and blended for two more minutes. You may have to blend more or less depending on your blender.Add all other ingredients and sugar to taste. Pour into a saucepan.

2. Heating

Boil for 10 minutes over low heat.Remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves.

3. Serving

Serve hot, and sprinkle the nutmeg on top.

Notes

Use almond, soy or rice milk for a vegan version.
You may use sweetener of your choice in place of sugar.
