Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Godiva dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (for hot chocolate)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for whipped cream)
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 0.125 tsp Cayenne pepper (for whipped cream)
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
- Mini marshmallows or shaved chocolate (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Add the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped Godiva dark chocolate, and cayenne pepper to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the chocolate melts completely, and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Reduce the heat to low and let the hot chocolate simmer gently for 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally.
While the hot chocolate is simmering, prepare the cayenne whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and cayenne pepper.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the whipped cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Remove the hot chocolate from the heat and pour it into two mugs.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of cayenne whipped cream and garnish with mini marshmallows or shaved chocolate, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the devilishly spicy and decadent treat!
