- 2 cups (500 mL) full cream milk
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Directions
- Place water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add vanilla, sugar, McCormick Cinnamon Ground, coffee granules, salt and McCormick Chilli Ground. Stir to combine and simmer for 1 minute, then add grated chocolate. Whisk until mixture thickens, slowly add milk and simmer for a further minute or until hot.

Recipe Tip
You can prepare this ahead of time (before ice cream or cream is added) and reheat. Be sure to whisk well with a balloon whisk to make it light and foamy before serving.
