Rich Dark Cocoa Recipe
Rich Dark Cocoa
When Cortez presented cocoa to the king of Spain it wasn't anything like what we drink today. The hot drink, loosely translated as "bitter water," was a concoction of cocoa, spices and water. If Cortez had this recipe, he would have become a hit in the Spanish Court. This adult version of an old favourite isn't too sweet - but it's still delicious enough to serve as a dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) low-fat soy milk or skim milk
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 oz (30 g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Preparation
In small saucepan, stir together 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the milk, cocoa powder and sugar to make paste. Whisk in remaining milk; heat over medium heat until hot. Stir in chopped chocolate until melted.
Makes 1 serving.
Tip: Dark chocolate was used in these recipes because of its high flavanol content. All recipes were tested with Baker's Bittersweet Chocolate, President's Choice Bittersweet Chocolate and Purdy's Dark Chocolate.
