CHOCOLATE HEART COOKIES

Chocolate Heart Cookies image

For a dramatic presentation, I dust dessert plates with cocoa powder and drizzle on a bit of melted raspberry fruit spread. I place a couple of these melt-in-your-mouth cookies in the center, along with some fresh rasberries, lemon zest and a sprig of mint. -TerryAnn Moore Vineland, New Jersey

CHOCOLATE HEART (ADULT BEVERAGE)

Chocolate Heart (Adult Beverage) image

I adapted this from drinksmixer.com. Be careful...it goes down a little too easy! (The original recipe uses cream instead of milk...feel free, but I have dietary restrictions so I can't have that much fat in a drink!)

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 ounce white Creme de Cacao or 1 ounce Godiva white chocolate liqueur
1/2 ounce hazelnut-flavored liqueur
1/2 ounce coffee liqueur (like Kahlua or Kapali)
3 ounces low-fat milk
maraschino cherry (stems removed)
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

Add a few ice cubes to a highball glass. Pour in liqueurs and drop in a couple maraschino cherries (I add a little of the cherry juice, too). Pour the cream down the sides of the glass and stir lightly before serving.
You can also hold the cherries out, top with whipped cream and cherries.
