Overview
- Medina posted a TikTok on December 16 preparing a holiday hot chocolate that many users mocked for looking like mazamorra and for being overly thick.
- In replies on her post, she defended the method and ingredients, citing the saying about thick chocolate, stressing “cacao, not cocoa,” and telling detractors to stick to their watered‑down version.
- Her recipe, as shown in the clip, used unsweetened chocolate, evaporated and condensed milk, cinnamon, clove, orange peel, nutmeg, a shot of pisco, and water, then was served with marshmallows and whipped cream.
- Peruvian outlets highlighted the video’s reach, with El Comercio reporting more than 35 million likes and thousands of comments on TikTok.
- The uproar revived memories of her 2019 turkey tutorial as TV host María Pía Copello recreated that dish in a viral video, while Medina reiterated she will not republish the turkey recipe.
