Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate. - If you don't have access to espresso, you can use strong brewed coffee. - To make the chocolate sauce ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. - To make the whipped cream ahead of time, simply whip the heavy cream and sugar together until stiff peaks form. Store the whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. - If you don't have a milk frother, you can warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it is just simmering. Then, use a whisk to whisk the milk until it is frothy.

Conclusion:

This spicy chocolate latte is the perfect drink to warm you up on a cold day. It is also a great way to use up any leftover chocolate sauce or whipped cream. With its rich chocolate flavor and hint of spice, this latte is sure to become a favorite.
