8 Cuban Recipes Straight From Abuelita’s Cookbook

Makes 12 servings

Ingredients
1 gallon whole milk
4 cans of evaporated milk
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
2 bars of Chocolat Menier or sweet melting chocolate, chopped
Cuban crackers (optional)
Butter, for spreading on crackers (optional)

Directions

1. Pour the whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk into a large pot. Bring to a low simmer, stirring constantly.
2. When simmering, add the chopped chocolate and stir until completely melted. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3. Once boiling, lower the stove to medium and let cool to warm, and stir occasionally (about 7-10 minutes).
4. Raise stove to medium-high/high and bring to a second boil, stirring constantly. Hot chocolate should be thicker now.
5. Turn the heat off after the second boil, and serve. Traditionally served with Cuban crackers and butter on the side. This is optional, but so delicious!
