ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE

Versatile Hot Chocolate

3 oz bittersweet  (60-70%) chocolate, chopped into small pieces

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup milk

2 teaspoons light brown sgar

place chopped chocolate in a small heatproof bowl.  Bring water to boil and pour over chocolate pieces, making sure all the chocolate pieces are submerged.  Set aside for about 3 minutes.  While waiting for chocolate to melt, place cream and milk in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a simmer.  Stir in brown sugar.

whisk chocolate and water mixture until smooth, then pour immediately into milk and cream mixture.  whisking constantly, bring mixture just to a boil.  Divide the hot chocolate among the mugs and serve immediately.

VARIATIONS:

Spiked Hot Chocolate

Add a shot of liquor to your mug of hot chocolate.  Peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, and any orange-flavored liquors work well.  Only add the shot to the mug after you have prepared your hot chocolate, never during the cooking process.

Iced Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate tastes great chilled.  Bring your hot chocolate to room temperature while it is still in the saucepan.  Once it’s cooled, fill and inc cube tray with some of the hot chocolate and place the rest in a pitcher in the refrigerator.  After the ice cubes are completely frozen, place three or four in a glass.  Shake your pitcher of iced hot chocolate (some chocolate will settle at the bottom of the pitcher), and pour over the ice cubes.

ANOTHER  GREAT  RECIPE

Mayfield  Muddle

7 ounces real dark chocolate

7 ounces boiling water

2 or 3 soft, but not too ripe, mangoes

6 passion fruit

1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

1 cup plain yogurt

for the meringue:

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

4 large egg whites

4 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for sprinkling)

1 cup finely ground blanched almonds

oil for greasing

Make the meringue:  Heat the oven to 225 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with baking parchment.   Whisk a spoonful of sugar into the egg whites and start to beat.  When they start to inflate, add the remaining sugar, bit by bit, until smooth, glossy, and standing in soft peaks.  Stir in the cocoa and almonds.  Spread into a rough sheet or pipe into nests on the cookie sheet.  Bake 4 hours, until dry and crisp.  (This quantity makes almost double what you need, but this meringue will keep for a long time, so it can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container.)

While the meringue is baking, make a water ganache with the chocolate and boiling water.  Leave to cool for a couple of hours at least until thick

ganache:

8 ounces real dark chocolate

1 cup boiling water

Break or chop the chocolate into pieces, put in a heat proof bowl, and melt in a low oven (100-200 degrees).  Leave in oven 5 minutes, then check with fork.  If it isn’t all melted wait 1 minute and check again.  Repeat every minutes or less till all is melted.  When melted, make the ganache by adding the boiling water to the chocolate, spoonful by spoonful.  It will thicken quickly at first, but it should become a smooth mixture when all the water is incorporated.

Break about half the meringue into bit-size pieces.  Cube the mango flesh.  Cut the passion fruit in half and squeeze into the same bowl.  Mix together the cream and yogurt.

In large glasses, layer the meringue, chocolate, fruit mixture and the yogurt and cream.  Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and serve.

Serves  6 – 8
