In Once upon a Time the typical winter hot drink that combines the characters of Emma Swan and her son Henry is hot chocolate with cinnamon and whipped cream, also called spicy hot chocolate.
If you want to experience the typical thrill of the romantic and ethereal atmosphere of the series, why not to try it at home? Let’s see how all together below.

The ingredients for spicy hot chocolate are:
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 20 g Powdered sugar
- 15 g corn starch (cornstarch)
- 20 g Cocoa powder
- 100 g 72% extra dark chocolate
The ingredients you’ll need for decorating are:
- 200 ml Liquid fresh cream (to be whipped)
- 15 g Powdered sugar
- q.b. Cinnamon powder
To make the hot chocolate in a cup, pour 400 ml of milk into a pot and let it heat without boiling. Melt the chopped extra dark chocolate in a bain-marie bowl. Combine powdered sugar, corn starch and bitter cocoa in another bowl. Pour the remaining milk (100 ml.) on the powders making it fall little by little to dissolve everything without forming lumps.
When the milk is hot add the powders, mix with the whisk and once amalgamated well add the chocolate extra dark melted. Keep on low heat stirring continuously for 2 minutes avoiding that bubble, you will see that the chocolate will be thickened and you can turn off. Keep it covered with cling film in contact (to prevent it from drying out), just long enough to mount the cream.
To prepare the decoration simply pour the liquid cream in the planetarium and operate using the whip. After 2-3 minutes the cream will be mounted. Add the sifted powdered sugar and incorporate using the spatula. Pour the hot chocolate into the cup, decorate with whipped cream and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
