Mayan Hot Chocolate Recipe

Mayan Hot Chocolate

From littlemissey 16 years ago

Have you seen the movie, Chocolat? This is like the hot chocolate that was served in the movie. I came upon this and it looked interesting.

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add chile pepper to boiling water.
Cook until liquid is reduced to 1 cup.
Remove chile pepper; strain water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream or milk, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick until bubbles appear around the edge.
Reduce heat to low; add chocolate and sugar or honey; whisk occasionally until chocolate is melted and sugar dissolves.
Turn off heat; remove vanilla bean and cinnamon stick.
Add chile-infused water, a little at a time, tasting to make sure the flavor isn't too strong.
If chocolate is too thick, thin with a little more milk.
Serve in small cups and offer ground almonds or hazelnuts and whipped cream.

Yum! sounds very nice. I think I will stick my toe into the water by making the chile-infused water, and then shrink the volume of the other ingred. to make fewer cups. thank you for posting!! sounds luscious. trish
