Chocolate de Maní [Recipe + Video] Dominican Peanut 'Cocoa'
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.
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.
