How To Make spiced mexican hot cocoa w/ cinnamon whipped cream

    FOR THE CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 20 minutes. Pour a cup of heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat until it just starts to thicken. Add in the powdered sugar, cinnamon and the vanilla and continue to beat until thick. Cover and keep cold in your fridge until ready to use.

    FOR THE HOT CHOCOLATE: In a medium saucepan add the sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, spices, salt and water. Bring to a boil, whisking until the sugar has dissolved.
  • 3
    Remove off of the heat and add in the whole milk and heavy cream. Whisk and return the pan to your stove and heat through over medium heat. DO NOT re-boil.
