Spice Up The New Year!

You might be asking yourself what makes the Mexican Hot Chocolate so special? What is added into it that gives it that extra kick of spice? With the same ingredients as the traditional Mexican Hot chocolate our pop is everything you would get in the famous drink, but in a tasty ice pop!

The flavor Mexican Hot Chocolate is traced all the way back to the ancient civilizations. For these ancient civilizations, cacao was considered a divine gift, and they prepared a frothy, spiced beverage using ground cacao, chili peppers, and other local ingredients.

Inspired by the love for this iconic beverage, a delightful innovation emerged – the Mexican hot chocolate popsicle. Made with cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and clove we sought a way to capture the essence of Mexican hot chocolate in a cool and refreshing form.

Mexican hot chocolate is more than just a delicious drink; it plays a significant role in various cultural celebrations. During Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)  families come together to share stories and warmth over cups of steaming hot chocolate. It has become a symbol of love, community, and connection.

The transition from steaming mug to frozen delight involves carefully adapting the traditional recipe. Cocoa powder, cinnamon, and spices are blended with milk, creating a velvety mixture that is poured into popsicle molds. The result is a frozen homage to the warmth and richness of Mexican hot chocolate. Our Mexican Hot Chocolate pop brings in that tasty, rich hot chocolate flavoring, but cold. It starts with tasting the cinnamon and clove spice to the subtle kick of cayenne that evolves the further you enjoy the pop. 

As we indulge in the cool delight of a Mexican hot chocolate popsicle, we are not just savoring a refreshing treat; we are experiencing the evolution of a centuries-old tradition. From its ancient Mesoamerican roots to the frozen innovations of today, Mexican hot chocolate continues to captivate our taste buds and surprise us with its ability to adapt and delight. So, the next time you dive into a Mexican Hot Chocolate pop, appreciate the journey from the warmth of history to the coolness of modern creativity encapsulated in every bite.
