GINGER HOT CHOCOLATE



Ginger Hot Chocolate image

A sweet and not-too-spicy hot chocolate with a hint of ginger. Perfect for cold winter nights or as a light dessert. This hot chocolate has a lovely warmth. It's sweet, creamy and chocolatey and not-too-spicy due to a conservative amount of ginger. But, if you love the stuff then by all means, pop a few ginger candies in your mouth while you're making a batch and throw in a whole teaspoon of ginger instead of half. That's the way I like it!

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk (I used vanilla almond, coconut, soy or cowâ s would work well, too)
1 cup water (or use more milk for extra richness)
artificial sweetener (1 packet non-bitter stevia, agave, raw sugar, honey, etc.)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or fresh grated ginger, depending on preference)
1/4 cup cocoa (or cacao powder)
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 -3 ginger candies (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the milk and water(or milk) in a medium saucepan. Once it comes to a simmer, reduce heat slightly and whisk in cocoa powder, sea salt and ginger. Whisk vigorously to incorporate.
  • Once the cocoa is hot enough for your liking (about 3-5 minutes), remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Stir once more. Sweeten to taste.
  • Take your ginger candies and rub them along the rims of your serving glasses or mugs. Eat or discard; they get mushy when added to the beverage.
  • Pour in hot cocoa and top with coconut cream(in Recipe#504526), whipped cream or marshmallows - whatever you like.

Hot Chocolate Cakes with Mango and Ginger image

France's classic flourless chocolate cake is a perennial favorite on dessert lists. Ours has a trendy tropical garnish of mango and crystallized ginger and is served warm.

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2 1/2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 large egg
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons ground walnuts
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large mango, peeled, pitted, sliced or 2 oranges, peeled, sectioned, seeded
2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter four 1/2-cup muffin cups. Sprinkle with sugar to coat. Combine cream, butter, cocoa, orange peel and espresso powder in heavy small saucepan. Bring to simmer, whisking until blended. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until melted. Cool to lukewarm, about 10 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg and sugar in medium bowl until pale yellow and slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes. Fold in walnuts and vanilla. Gently fold in chocolate mixture. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake cakes until puffed and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 10 minutes (cake centers may sink.) Turn cakes out onto rack.
