HOT CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY RUSSIAN



Hot Chocolate-Raspberry Russian image

There's nothing like a cup of hot cocoa to warm you on a cold night... Oh, wait, there is: Hot cocoa with vodka! I decided to add raspberry flavored vodka (I used Absolut- it's the only brand I can find in Lisbon with vanilla and raspberry flavors) to my hot chocolate since I've always been a fan of the chocolate-raspberry combo. I suppose one could add vodka and a raspberry liquer, or experiment with other desired flavors.

Time 3m

Yield 1 mug, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pint prepared hot cocoa (I had run out of cocoa so I used Cadbury's drinking chocolate plus milk)
2 -3 ounces raspberry vodka (approximately)
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Add vodka to hot chocolate/cocoa (if you want more of a kick you could try adding plain vodka, so the raspberry flavor won't overpower the chocolate).
  • If desired, garnish with whipped cream. Note: I I have tried combining the hot chocolate with vanilla vodka and KahlĂșa and obtained equally delicious results!

RUSSIAN HOT CHOCOLATE

I went to St. Petersburg in November of 2002 with my husband and stumbled upon a little coffee place with a slow-turning dasher massaging a smooth, dark, tar-looking substance. The counter girl channeled the velvety, hot chocolate soup into demitasse cups and handed us a tiny spoon. We weren't sure what to do next and then we saw others skimming off a taste of the mixture, a spoonful at a time. Now, without all the hard-to-get visas, borscht, and cold weather, you can enjoy it too.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup creme fraiche
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Finely grated orange rind, to taste
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups milk
1 vanilla bean, split
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Make the Orange Creme Fraiche: Combine all the ingredients in a chilled bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to serve.

  • Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chocolate and butter until melted. Fish out the vanilla bean and rinse it. Wrap the vanilla bean in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into warmed demitasse cups and serve immediately with dollops of the orange creme fraiche served on the side on demitasse spoons.

RUSSIAN HOT CHOCOLATE

It's a hot chocolate coffee drink. Can also be made iced.The salt brings out the sweetness of the sugar. If you have sweet chocolate, you can use that and skip the sugar. Adapted from the New Settlement Cookbook.
