List of Ingredients






Serves 2

2-3 tablespoons heavy cream (for serving)

2 cups whole or low-fat milk

5 ounces dark (bittersweet) chocolate, chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, more to sprinkle

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more to sprinkle

Pinch of salt

Sugar to taste (optional)

1. Whisk cream in a small bowl until thick, and set aside to chill.

2. Warm two mugs. Whisk milk, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, cayenne and salt in a small saucepan to mix them. Bring very slowly to a simmer, whisking constantly so the chocolate melts evenly. Simmer 2-3 minutes, until the chocolate is rich, cooking longer if you like it quite thick. Whisk constantly so foam forms on top. Taste and whisk in sugar if needed.

3. Pour chocolate into warm mug, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and cayenne.
