This ponche de chocolate (chocolate eggnog) feels somewhere between a luscious drink and a light dessert. You can never go wrong with chocolate. A must-try!
Why we ❤️ it
As a chocolate lover myself, nothing beats a toast with ponche and this chocolate eggnog is amazing. Join me.
When to serve
If it were for me, any time. However, traditionally, ponche is served during the Christmas and holiday season in our country.
But you don't have to wait till December to enjoy it, feel free to make this homemade eggnog and enjoy it any time of the year. It's also great as an edible gift for friends and family.
About this recipe
This chocolate eggnog recipe is a spinoff of our traditional ponche crema (rum eggnog), which is a mixture of dairy, spices (cinnamon sticks, and cloves), and egg yolk. For this recipe, we've switched out a few things and added cocoa powder for a creamy, chocolatey, smooth drink.
This recipe yields about a liter of eggnog, or 4 cups, about 6 servings. You can double or triple the ingredients (same cooking time) to have extra servings.
