Mexican Hot Chocolate No Churn Ice Cream

This Mexican hot chocolate no churn ice cream makes the most of the flavors of traditional Mexican hot chocolate, such as cinnamon, vanilla, and chiles to create this tasty dessert.

Mexican hot chocolate is usually made by dissolving bars of Mexican drinking chocolate in hot milk or water by using a molinillo, a wooden tool that you hand spin in your cup to dissolve the chocolate and froth the drink.

Mexican hot chocolate is sweetened with sugar and cinnamon, and sometimes flavored with some chiles and topped with marshmallows.

I really debated when I made this ice cream about adding heat from chiles. While I'm a big fan of heat in my food, I made this ice cream for a dinner get together with friends, and wasn't sure how they would react.

My husband is also suspicious whenever I add heat to dishes (although, despite being wary, he always likes the results). In the end, I snuck in a tablespoon of Frank's Red Hot Original.

After a dinner of Korean-style pulled pork tacos topped with a spicy Asian-flavored slaw, this no churn ice cream was the perfect dessert. Everyone detected a certain "something something" beyond the chocolate and the cinnamon.
