There are many ways to prepare the Mexican Hot Chocolate. Here, we will look at two different ways to prepare this deliciously rich drink.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Drink Recipe

Ingredients

4 oz dark chocolate, broken into smaller pieces

4 cups milk

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp cinnamon powder (but if you don’t like cinnamon, reduce it to 1 tsp)

2 eggs

3 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Place the chocolate on a double boiler and melt it bain marie style. Do not let the base of the bowl touch the boiling water.

2. In a saucepan, heat up the milk and cream over low heat, do not let it boil.

3. Then scoop about 3 tbsp of the hot milk and add it to the chocolate and mix well.

4. Add in the rest of the milk, sugar and cinnamon and stir well.

5. In another bowl, beat the eggs together with the vanilla extract.

6. Add about 2 tbsp of the chocolate mixture to the eggs and stir well. Then gradually add the egg mixture into the chocolate. Do it slowly or else the eggs may cook and curdle and stir while adding it in. Then briskly whisk the hot chocolate mixture for a few minutes to combine the eggs and cream well.

7. Pour into mugs, add cinnamon sticks (to be used as stirrer) and whipped cream as desired. Best served hot!

If you do not fancy adding eggs into your drink, here’s another version that do not contain eggs and uses chocolate chips instead of chocolate blocks.

The sugar amount could be reduced and adjusted to suit your own taste. Some like their hot cocoa to be slightly sweet but not too sweet so they only add in very little sugar while some prefer theirs to be sweet. If you use regular milk chocolate, it is best not to add too much sugar as milk chocolate already has sugar in it.
