Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 large egg yolks

- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place the milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes, whisking frequently, until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spatula.
- Place the chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne in the pitcher of a large blender. Pour the warm custard mixture over the top, then put the lid on the blender and puree until very smooth.
- Divide the mixture into four containers, cover with plastic wrap, and chill until set (about 2 hours).
