Homemade hot chocolate with a shot of espresso is a decadent, deeply satisfying treat. Melt a good quality dark chocolate into milk, add a cinnamon stick, and top it all off with a bold shot of espresso! This cocoa’s nothing like the kind from a mix.
Pour the milk and cinnamon into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low until simmering but not boiling, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the chocolate and sugar. Whisk until they’re fully dissolved, then continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the cinnamon sticks and pour the spiced hot chocolate into your large mug.
Pull a shot of espresso (or make ½ cup of strong coffee) and pour it straight into the mug. Stir the drink and top with whipped cream if you’d like!
