 Happy New Year! It’s January and it’s cold (somewhere) and the perfect time for hot chocolate. But, maybe not everyone enjoys a nice, hot mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows. I’ve seen recipes for Mexican hot chocolate treats and finally decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did. I’m including two recipes this month. One for cookies and one for a decadent cake. (One suggestion I received from two different people was to dip the cookies into the cake to eat them together!) The Mexican Hot Chocolate cookies have an unexpected kick to them from the cayenne. It isn’t much. Just different. I think they would make great ice cream sandwiches, I just didn’t have any cookies left to try them. And the Mexican Hot Chocolate Pudding cake…if you haven’t made a pudding cake yet, this is the one to try. Served warm with the vanilla ice cream melting into the fudgy sauce is delightful. Fortunately for me, I’m the only one in my house that likes the additional flavor of the espresso so I didn’t have to share the rest of the cake with anyone else. And it heats up nicely with just 30 seconds in the microwave, so you don’t have to eat it all the day you make it. I will be making the cake again without the espresso powder so the rest of my family can enjoy it, too. these recipes! |
