Gingerbread Hot Chocolate
If you’ve been outside on this very cold Sunday --installing Christmas lights in the front garden, perhaps-- then, you’ll need a hot beverage to warm your numb fingers and chilled bones. Not only is this Gingerbread Hot Chocolate, inspired by a recipe I saw on the BBC Good Food website, wonderfully warming and deliciously spiced; it also keeps in with the festive spirit! Happy Sunday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 whole cloves
2 heaped teaspoons demerara sugar
1 teaspoon Homemade Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup double cream
2 cups semi-skimmed milk
90 grams/3 ounces good quality dark chocolate (at least 65% cocoa solids)
1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup double cream
1/2 teaspoon Icing Sugar
1 Gingerbread Biscuit
In a large saucepan, combine ground cinnamon, ground ginger, whole cloves and demerara sugar. Give a good stir, and add Vanilla Extract. Stir in double cream and milk. Heat on the stove, over medium heat until simmering.
Remove from the heat and allow to infuse, 10 minutes.
Then, return over a medium flame, and bring to a slow boil.
Meanwhile, break dark chocolate into a medium bowl, and sift in cocoa powder.
Once the spiced milk and cream mixture is just boiling, pour over the chocolate and cocoa. Cover with a lid, and set a side, for a couple of minutes.
Then, remove the lid, and whisk energetically until well-blended and smooth. Pour spiced hot chocolate back into the saucepan, and heat, over a low flame.
In the meantime, whisk double cream energetically until soft peaks form. Add Icing Sugar, and continue whisking until stiff peaks just form.
Pour spiced hot chocolate into two large mugs. Top with whipped cream, and crumble Gingerbread Biscuit on top.
Enjoy Gingerbread Hot Chocolate immediately!
