In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, allspice, ground ginger, and salt.
½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon McCormick Ground Allspice, ½ teaspoon McCormick Ground Ginger, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour the milk and heavy cream into the stainless steel liner. Add the sugar, cocoa, spice mixture, and whisk to combine.
3 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream
Close the lid, and ensure the valve is set to “sealing.” Press the manual (pressure cook) button, and adjust the time to 2 minutes. After the time is up, press the "Cancel" button to turn off the Instant Pot, and allow a 5 minute natural pressure release before opening the valve to release any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the lid, add the vanilla, and whisk the hot chocolate. Strain through a mesh sieve if desired.
1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
