11 Ingredients and Directions of Mexican Hot Chocolate Shots with Spicy Foam Recipe

This hot chocolate drink is not your ordinary treat of dessert because aside from its rich and very creamy flavor, it will also give you a kick of hot cayenne pepper. If you are going to make this recipe, make sure to make some extra serving because you will end up sipping more of it especially on winter days. The cayenne pepper may make you think twice, but believe it or not, it compliments the chocolate so perfectly in ways that you could never imagine. Really worth a try!
