I’m sure I’m not the only one to whom hot chocolate is a big time comfort food. It brings back memories of Mom serving up steaming mugs at the kitchen table after sledding, and, as a young teen sitting next to the jukebox at the neighborhood ski lodge with my friends singing along to “American Pie” over a cup of hot chocolate.
This recipe for Thick and Creamy Mayan Hot Chocolate is not your mom’s hot chocolate…unless of course you happen to be Mayan. A surprise ingredient is added that gives it extra body. I’ll give you a hint…it’s high in beta carotene.
I’m sharing the recipe and secret ingredient at Learning and Yearning today. Click here to check it out.

I love the secret ingredient in this delicious hot chocolate!! Thank you for sharing this post with The Gallery of Favorites.
This looks so good! I love hot chocolate, and since I’m sugar free (and try to avoid honey as much as possible as well), I’m pretty much limited to stevia.
If we had squash, I’d make this…….no, wait. We’ve got tons of acorn squash in the back porch. Will that work?

Hi Dolly, I’ve only made it with butternut squash, so I can’t say. Acorn is a little drier than butternut. If you try it I hope you’ll let us know how it worked. I’m sure other readers are wondering the same thing.
BTW, I visited your blog and checked out the buttons. Very cute!
