Makes 4 demitasse servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup Whole Milk
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 8 Tablespoons Cacao Premium Drinking Chocolate Mix
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground dried ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp ground star anise
Directions
Gently heat ½ Cup Whole Milk and ½ Cup Heavy Cream and all ground spices over low heat. Stir regularly—be careful not to overheat. Once the dairy reaches about 160F degrees remove from heat and add 8 tablespoons of Cacao Premium Drinking Chocolate mix and let rest for a minute. Return to low heat and alternate whisking and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan with a rubber spatula. Continue whisking with occasional scraping until the drinking chocolate is completely smooth. If it looks clumpy on the back of a spoon or the rubber spatula continue to whisk and gently heat. Do no overheat or bring to a boil. You can either serve immediately, or for a fuller mouth-feel you can refrigerate overnight and reheat and serve the next day. Heat gently as before. Or serve cold and eat like a cold chocolate soup or pudding. Enjoy!
