Keep even warmer this season with this unique holiday recipe made with ancho chili powder to awaken your taste buds.

“hot” hot cocoa

Ingredients

1 cup 1% milk
4 teaspoons Equal® Spoonful OR 2 packets Equal® sweetener
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder*
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Slowly heat milk in a small saucepan on medium heat to simmer.
Combine Equal®, cocoa, chili powder, vanilla and cinnamon in a large cup. Gradually stir in milk until combined. Serve warm.
Ground ancho chili peppers have a mild heat and a sweet fruity flavor that will add just enough heat, but not overwhelm the cocoa.
