To begin making Spicy Hot Chocolate Recipe, we have to melt the dark chocolate chunks using the double boiler method.

Place a pot of water on high heat and let the water reach boiling point. Once the water boils, place a glass bowl on top of the boiling water and make sure that the water does not go inside the glass bowl. 

Add the chunks of chocolate in the glass bowl and let them melt. This is called the double boiler method. Once all the chocolate has melted, turn off the flame. 

In another pan, add the milk and bring it to a boil. Reduce the flame to low and add the melted chocolate and stir continuously until it thickens. 

Next add the whole pepper powder, cayenne pepper vanilla extract to the Hot Chocolate. Stir well to mix all the ingredients until they are well combined. 

Stir continuously until the Spicy Hot Chocolate thickens. Turn off the flame.

Add chopped cherries and almonds on top for garnish to the Spicy Hot Chocolate.

Serve Spicy Hot Chocolate Recipe along with Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe (with Eggless & Vegan Options) for a cold evening snack time drink.
