Looking for a twist on the classic hot chocolate? Try this easy homemade Mexican hot chocolate! This hot chocolate has the same base recipe as the Homemade Organic Hot Chocolate[1] listed above, then we add a touch of cinnamon, chili powder and cayenne pepper. The spice blends perfectly with the creamy chocolate base. If you’re looking to make your Mexican hot chocolate extra rich and decadent, substitute the milk for Organic Valley® Heavy Whipping Cream or Organic Valley® Half and Half.

Chopped baking chocolate or chocolate chips can be used.
