When you come to Portland, I will take you to Cacao. http://www.cacaodrinkchocolate.com/index.html Then we shall see if your taste buds wake up. They makes things like this:
Le Chocolat l’Africain
This recipe appears in “Hot Chocolate” by Michael Turback, who adapted it from a classic recipe from the famous, 103-year-old Paris cafe, Angelina.
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon confectioner’s sugar
• 4 ounces Omanhene (or brand of your choice) bittersweet chocolate, 72 percent cacao, chopped
• Whipped cream for serving
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the milk, cream and sugar and heat just until bubbles appear around the edges of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon until it is completely melted. If necessary, return the pan to low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted.
The mixture should appear smooth and evenly colored.
Serve warm (not hot) in demitasse or espresso cups with softly whipped cream on the side.
Serves two.
The one with spicy and coconut milk makes me dizzy.
