Equipment
Notes
- To make the Mexican hot chocolate sauce, mix 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of chili powder into a batch of hot fudge sauce. Make my espresso hot fudge sauce for this - it's so easy and tastes amazing!
- Don't use canned whipped cream for this. Keep your equipment as cold as possible, and mix this just before serving if possible. If not, cover it tightly, keep it cold in the fridge, and whisk it for 30 seconds to bring back any aeration that may have fallen.
