This rich and velvety Mexican Spiced Hot Chocolate boasts a unique blend of chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of chili, perfect for warming up on chilly nights.
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Add in the cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Whisk until fully combined and the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired before serving.
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Garnish with almonds, chocolate powder, and shredded coconut.
