Hot Chili Chocolate

Ingredients:

2 cups whole milk
2 tbsp sugar (to taste)
4 oz high-quality, bittersweet chocolate chopped (just under 1 cup measured)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp chili powder (or to taste)
1 tsp cinnamon
Whipped cream & marshmallows optional

Instructions:

  1. Heat chopped bittersweet chocolate in 30-second intervals in microwave until melted. Stir in chili powder.
  2. Combine milk and sugar in a small saucepan and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Heat milk to 180 degrees F, (you’ll see bubbles on the edge of the pan – do not boil), turn off the heat and add the melted chili chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla, whisking to combine.
  3. Pour into warmed mugs and top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate or marshmallows and enjoy!
