Spicy Mexican Hot Cocoa
Ingredients
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 teaspoon Urfa biber (Turkish chile pepper)
  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon grated bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
1
Carefully split a vanilla bean lengthwise using the sharp edge of a knife.
2
Place Urfa biber into a small strainer or tea infuser to prepare it for use.
3
Combine the split vanilla bean, Urfa biber, milk, and a cinnamon stick in a saucepan.
4
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring every now and then, until it reaches a simmering point with tiny bubbles forming on the surface, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove the Urfa biber and discard it.
5
Lower the heat to a low setting, then add chocolate and sugar; stir until the chocolate is fully incorporated and melted, taking around 2 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean from the saucepan.
6
Pour the mixture into individual serving cups, topping each one with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Finish by garnishing each cup with a piece of bittersweet chocolate.
