Tips
If you want to make this drink even more indulgent, you can add a splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream or Kahlua for a boozy twist. Just add it to the hot chocolate before serving.
If you don’t have cinnamon dolce syrup, you can make your own by boiling cinnamon sticks with sugar and water. Just simmer 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 4 cinnamon sticks for about 10 minutes, then strain and use in the recipe.
To make the whipped cream, simply beat heavy cream with a little powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. You can also use store-bought whipped cream if you’re short on time.
