“Submarinos”
(Argentinian
Hot Chocolate)
*******
I’ll always remember the first time I
drank one of these. I was in a café in Argentina
with my Mormon missionary companion, and some people at another table had clear
glass mugs of hot milk. They were pushing pieces of dark chocolate with spoons
down into the milk until it melted—a fun process for making hot chocolate. I asked what it was called and when I was
told they were called “submarinos” (submarines) I immediately wanted to order
one so that I could sink my own bar of chocolate like a submarine.
Per serving:
1 C whole milk
1-ounce dark
chocolate (traditionally about 1- by 3-inches long)
- In a small saucepan, heat
the milk to scalding.
- Pour into a clear glass
mug and drop in the chocolate bar so you can sink the submarine. It will bob to the surface over and
over, getting smaller and smaller as you keep sinking it with your spoon.
