Cooking times

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Servings: 2 cups

500ml whole milk (or plant-based alternative, like almond milk)
50g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa), finely chopped
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp brown sugar or to taste
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
A pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
(for an alternative chilli twist try ancho, chipotle or habanero chilli)
