Try this insanely decadent and rich Chocolate Martini recipe made into a mocktail with spice, cinnamon and indulgent chocolate chips.
This recipe comes from my girl Nicole of the food blog Brown Sugar ‘s brand new book Baby Proof.
This was the dream book for all of us preggers ladies looking to feel like normal adults every once and a while. She has some of the most creative recipes for mocktails in her book, and she has them divided by trimester along with some great pregnancy tips.

Ingredients
This mocktail is quite special because it is super indulgent and satisfying without the alcohol. Here are the ingredients that truly make it super special!
- Semisweet Chocolate
- Heavy Cream
- Soy Milk
- Chai Tea
- Cinnamon Simple Syrup
- Cayenne
Semisweet chocolate is one of my favorites to use in baking and dessert recipes. More generally, it contains at least 50% cocoa liquor, though the added sugar is usually less than 1/3 of the total content. A lot of people use semisweet and bittersweet chocolate interchangeably so feel free to substitute here if you want a deeper chocolate flavor since bittersweet chocolate has less sugar.
The heavy cream in this recipe is key in creating the thick buttery richness that makes this chocolate martini so irresistible! It almost gives it more of the consistency of a thinned milkshake which is heavenly.
Next is the addition of chai tea with soy milk. If you have never had a cup of Indian chai tea with soy milk, you are missing out. It is so smoothing and comforting. The combination is like a chai latte.
The cinnamon flavor elevates a simple syrup. This, along with cayenne pepper, creates a wonderful Mexican chocolate flavor. Cinnamon gives chocolate such a depth of flavor.
How to Make a Chocolate Martini
This Spicy Chocolate Martini recipe stood out to me because I always wanted to make one myself after trying the Godiva Chocolate Martini before. This recipe starts with semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream together.
These ingredients are used to make ganache and are perfect in baking so I love this combo to start this recipe. You could also use this to begin a fantastic and decadent hot chocolate.
The use of soy milk is perfection for those who want to cut down on the dairy. I also am interested in trying this with coconut milk too.
What gives this Chocolate Martini Recipe its Spicy Chocolate Flavor?
The chai tea is a lovely flavor note that adds a hint of uniqueness. Finally the cinnamon simple syrup and cayenne pepper adds that spiced kick that really heats this to a spicy chocolate finish.
It looks and feels sexy and is just what you need to get that decadent fix anytime you crave it. Whenever I’m feeling the itch, I will definitely be referring back to this chocolate martini.
