Chocolate completo

(Chocolate Santafereño, Chocolate caliente)

Chocolate completo, also known as chocolate Santafereño is a traditional meal that is usually served for breakfast.


In order to prepare it, a cup of hot chocolate is topped with mild cheese that doesn't dissolve under heat, such as costeno or queso fresco. The cheese is added to the hot chocolate just before serving, and the combination is traditionally accompanied by buttered bread and almojábana (corn and yuca roll).


The leftovers at the bottom of the cup are often soaked up with chunks of the buttered bread, but don't worry, being messy while enjoying chocolate completo is encouraged in Colombia.
