Chile Spice Cocoa

Serves 2

3 Tbsp Cocoa powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp mild chili powder

1/4 tsp sweet paprika

1/4 tsp ground chipotle pepper

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of salt

2 Tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp light corn syrup

Whipped cream

Blend the cocoa, spices, salt, sugar, vanilla and butter in a bowl until its a crumbly texture.  Put in a saucepan over medium heat and add the corn syrup.

Blend with a rubber spatula until its a smooth paste, then gradually add the milk, blending smooth with each addition.  Once the mixture is like a thick syrup, add the milk more liberally and blend.  Heat until a light steam is coming off the surface.  Serve with whipped cream
