Sweet and just a tiny bit spicy , the first hot chocolate of this series comes from Mexico.
Before we go any further for the adults if we are not making this for the children, rum or baileys goes perfectly fine with this 😉. Everyone loves a hot chocolate every now and then however sometimes its nice to spice it up and this what this recipe does. It takes minutes to make and you can use any Hot chocolate mixture you wish.
Ingredients
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 300g bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 140g sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
• marshmallows (regular or mini)
• whipped cream
• pinch of cinnamon
• drizzle of chocolate sauce
• grated chocolate
Method
- To a large pot, add all ingredients and heat over MED heat. Whisk as it heats, to combine all ingredients until smooth. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Pour into mugs and top with desired toppings. My usual preference is whipped cream, grated chocolate, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
