Notes

For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk. You can substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor. For added warmth, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, reheating gently before serving. Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top of the whipped cream for a lovely finish.
