A traditional cup of hot chocolate is usually topped with marshmallows or whipped cream in the U.S., but if you're in Colombia, cheese is the standout ingredient. That's right — hot chocolate with cheese, called chocolate santafereño or chocolate caliente, is a comforting and integral part of Colombian cuisine. In fact, many Colombian households have a special pot called a chocolatera and wooden whisk called a molinillo in order to make this hot chocolate at home. It's not just any cheese that gets dropped into a mug of hot chocolate in Colombia. Are you intrigued by this Colombian version of hot chocolate?
