How to Make Spanish Spiced Hot Chocolate

  1. In a medium bowl, whip 1/4 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Combine 4 ounces (113g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped; 1 tablespoon sherry (optional); 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering water, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until warmed through. Do not boil.
  4. Gradually whisk the warmed milk mixture into the melted chocolate mixture until completely combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top with the reserved whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
