This hot chocolate recipe with its spicy accents is sinfully decadent. With exotic flavors of jalapeno and vanilla, this syrupy sweet drink pairs very well with donuts or churros for a luxurious afternoon break.
Ingredient list for the spicy hot chocolate
- 7 oz (200g) of dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cups (50cl) of milk
- 1,3 cup (30cl) of liquid cream
- 1 pinch of Jalapeno pepper powder
- 1 vanilla pod
Method
1. Bring milk to a boil with cream, Jalapeno pepper powder, and the vanilla pod, split and scraped.
2. Meanwhile, chop the chocolate with a knife and set aside in a large bowl.
3. Let milk infuse with spices for 10 minutes, then pour over the chocolate through a sieve. Stir until dissolved.
4. Put the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk over low heat for 10 minutes. Serve hot with churros. The more adventurous of you will add a pinch of Jalapeno pepper over each cup.
