  Happy Cinco De Mayo! This rich, spiced, and cold dessert is the perfect healthy treat to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! Its a perfect blend of chocolate and cinnamon with just a hint of cayenne! No matter when you serve this treat, its sure to be a hit!

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican's victory over the French forces in The Battle of Puebla on May 5 , 1862. This holiday is celebrated in Mexico as well as the United States!

So, lets make this delicious Frozen Hot Chocolate!

Ingredients:
1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
Pinch of Cayenne( less is more!)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
3 cups Ice

First, add milk, cinnamon, vanilla, cayenne and salt to a sauce pan and whisk. Bring this mixture to a simmer.

Once the milk mixture is simmering, pull it off the heat and add the chocolate chips. Let this sit for 30 sec. to a minute before you try and stir.

Once you have let this set, whisk together until the chocolate has melted and everything is combined.

Pour this into a jug or pitcher and set in the fridge. You want this mixture to go completely cool before we move on to the next step.

Once it has chilled, take it out of the fridge and give it a stir. Put the ice in a blend along with the chocolate sauce. You might need to add a splash of almond milk.

 

Blend until everything is combined and the mixture is nice and smooth!

 

Pour into some glasses and enjoy! This made enough for about 3 to 4 servings.

 

 

This was so delicious! I can't get over how beautiful all the flavors are together! The richness of the chocolate pairs so well with the warmth of the cinnamon and the cayenne adds a nice little kick! My little brother was very happy with his portion! He, my sisters and I enjoyed this for a mid morning treat!

He kept saying 'Thank you', it was so cute!
