This Mexican hot chocolate is smooth, creamy and extra rich. Made with cinnamon and a hint of chili. The perfect comfort food for cold winter days. This version of hot chocolate (chocolate caliente) is very easy to make and requires only 5-10 minutes of work.

A white cup filled with hot chocolate garnished with a cinnamon stick, sitting on a matching white saucer. A few cinnamon sticks are scattered on the wooden table in the background, and a second white cup and saucer are partially visible.
