- 2 tablespoons Hazelnut spread
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- optional, for topping Whipped cream

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar.

Add the hazelnut spread and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Whisk until the hazelnut spread is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the cocoa to a gentle simmer, ensuring it doesn’t boil, to warm it thoroughly, about 1-2 minutes.

Serve immediately and enjoy your Hazelnut Cinnamon Cocoa while warm.
