  • Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with Tequila Buttercream

    Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with Tequila Buttercream

    I have been asked for this recipe multiple times since I created it. Earlier this year, I competed in an online recipe competition in which I had to use the chocolate brand Callebaut to make a recipe for a specific category. I competed in 4 different categories in the competition and in two of those categories I made it to the final round. These cupcakes were one of the two that made it.

    I enjoyed making these cupcakes immensely, and even more so, enjoyed eating them. These cupcakes are not very sweet, and have a little kick of spicy in the cake itself. The buttercream on the other hand, is sweet and very alcoholic. The tequila is not cooked out, so all of the taste and all of the alcohol is still present.

    I love love love these cupcakes, and I definitely want to see them if you make them! Please tag @withzoeanderic and @chefzoe on Instagram, post the picture on our Facebook page, or post in the comments on this post!

  • Peppermint Hot Chocolate

    Peppermint Hot Chocolate

    When I was young, we used to visit our family friends in Concord, Massachusetts. It would snow and be freezing and Patricia would take out the snowman mugs and the container of chocolate powder and tiny marshmallows, and make us delicious hot chocolate.

    I can also flash back to the many ski trips I had out west. The kids would be in ski school while the adults combed the mountain. On our many breaks out of the cold, there was always hot chocolate. I can just smell it by recalling the memory. But that hot chocolate is made from powder. This hot chocolate, it isn’t.

    Smooth dark chocolate, whole milk and maybe a touch of cream… maybe some non-traditional spices? Topped with whipped cream and candy cane crumble? Perfect for freezing cold night.
