Cinnamon Spiced Hot Chocolate

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
This isn't just cocoa; it's a thick, creamy hot chocolate like you'd find in Vienna coffee houses or Parisian salons. The secret is using real melted dark chocolate instead of powder, velvetized by heavy cream, with an exotic kick of cinnamon.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heavy-bottomed saucepan - To prevent milk scorching.
  • Whisk - For perfect emulsification.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour milk and cream into saucepan, add sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Heat over medium.

Tip: Salt is essential in chocolate dishes to deepen the flavor.
2 ✓

When milk is steaming (not boiling), break in the chocolate.

Tip: Boiling milk can cause the cocoa butter to separate.
3 ✓

Reduce heat to low and whisk continuously until chocolate melts and mixture thickens.

Tip: Continuous whisking emulsifies the fats with the liquid for creaminess.
4 ✓

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and pour into mugs.

Tip: Add vanilla at the end so the aroma doesn't evaporate.
5 ✓

Serve with a cinnamon stick stirrer and a dusting of cinnamon.

Tip: Even richer with whipped cream on top!
