Rich enough to be a dessert. This is so rich that you could cut the sugar in half or out and it will still taste great. I used half whipping cream and half skim milk. The orange rind gives it a nice subtle flavor. Makes 2 drinks. Recipe can be halved or doubled. Ingredients:
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar |
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
orange rind (2-inch x 1/4-inch strip) |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 cup hot strong coffee |
1/4 cup warmed half-and-half |
orange rind (to garnish) |
cinnamon stick (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, chocolate, orange rind, cinnamon and allspice in blender. Whirl until finely chopped.
2. Add coffee to blender. Whirl for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth and chocolate is melted, scraping down side if needed.
3. Pour into saucepan; Gently heat.
4. Combine in blender with warmed half-and-half; Whirl until frothy. Strain; discard solids.
5. Serve in cappuccino cups. Garnish with orange rind and cinnamon sticks, and chocolate covered coffee beans, if you wish.
