Rich as shit Mexian hot chocolate
I’ve got a steaming mug of the most ridiculous hot chocolate right here. I’d recommend waiting for a really crappy, rainy day to try this out. It’s stupidly rich, but it’s doing a good job at melting away my bad mood.
Ingredients
- heaping spoonful dutch process cocoa
- heaping spoonful sugar
- teensy pinch salt
- pinch cinnamon
- dash ground cayenne pepper
- 1 t sugar
- ½ t vanilla extract
- 1/3 C heavy cream (oh yeah, I went there)
- 8 oz boiling water
- Combine the cocoa, heaping spoonful of sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne in a 14 oz mug and stir.
- In a large-ish bowl, combine 1 t sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Whisk and whisk and whisk until you’ve got something a little more liquid than proper whipped cream.
- Slowly pour boiling water on top of cocoa mixture, stirring to make sure you don’t get any lumps.
- Fill the mug the rest of the way with WHIPPED CREAM. If you want, fill it up ¾ of the way, then stir to get it all good and incorporated, and then top with the rest of the cream.
- Sneak in a shot of whiskey if you feel the need.
