Oh, the things that have happened since I last posted are numerous! However, I'm going to keep from posting about that right now & instead post what I made tonight...
Drinking Chocolate (on ice)
The deliciousness of it all is quite wonderful. I found some recipes online & modified/combined slightly. Plus, I wanted my drink on ice so that made it a tad different as well.
Ingredients:
2oz. whipping cream
4 oz. milk
1 t vanilla
1/4 t ground cinnamon
2 oz. chopped dark chocolate (I used Dove because I had it in the house)
Homemade whipped cream for topping
Combine all of the ingredients (except whipped cream) in a pan on the stove on low heat. Stir until melted.
Now, you have drinking chocolate! For the life of me I couldn't get a decent photo of the drink (plus, I didn't make any whipped cream to go on top which would definitely have added to the prettiness) but here's the end product:
If you want it iced, fill a glass with ice, add a bit of milk, & pour in the chocolate. (The higher fat content of the milk the better!) Also, if you want a really nice thick hot drink, I'd recommend just using the 2 oz. of whipping cream and maybe 2 oz. of milk (or just an additional 2 oz. whipping cream!)
The drink is totally well worth a try. I think I need to buy more chocolate....
