Hot chocolate with vanilla cream

Method

1. Place the milk, chocolate, cinnamon stick and cayenne pepper in a heavy-based saucepan. Heat gently, stirring, until the chocolate has melted.

2. Whip the cream with the vanilla sugar until it is semi-stiff, though not until peaks form.

3. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Pour the hot chocolate into four mugs, top with the vanilla cream and serve at once.
