Description
This Spicy Cajun Hot Chocolate is a unique twist on a classic beverage, combining rich cocoa with bold Cajun spices for a delightful experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by pouring the 2 cups of whole milk into your medium saucepan. Place it over a medium flame and heat gently. It's important to watch the milk closely — you want it to heat until it's steaming but not boiling.
- Once your milk is steaming, it's time to incorporate the flavors! Add the 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Using your whisk, stir continuously until the cocoa powder fully dissolves.
- Now that your spicy concoction is complete, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully pour the beautifully blended hot chocolate into your two cups, taking care not to overflow! Serve immediately while it's hot, and enjoy the flourishing blend of sweetness and spice in every sip.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spiciness level; add more cayenne if you prefer a stronger kick. For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
