In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar.
Whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
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 doesnβt boil, to warm it thoroughly, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the cocoa into two mugs. Optionally, top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped hazelnuts and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Hazelnut Cinnamon Cocoa while warm.
