What is a "Double Double" hot chocolate, you ask? If I tell you, you may never be the same again. Are you ready? Here is the recipe for heaven in a mug:
Lisabeth's "Double Double" Hot Chocolate
1. Whip up two cups of 35% whipping cream.
2. Once cream is whipped (until stiff), stir in a packet of organic hot cocoa mix (sweetened) for a sweet cocoa whip cream
3. Heat a cup of milk to near-boiling point (I use skim milk, but 1% or 2% works too!)
4. Add a packet (or a few tablespoons) of organic dark hot chocolate mix to mug along with one or two ounces of extra bitter (70%) dark chocolate and stir (it's okay if the chocolate doesn't completely melt, it's nice to savour the melty chocolate on the bottom of the cup after you've drank your hot chocolate)
5. Top with a quarter to half cup of the hot chocolate whip cream.
WARNING: You WILL feel dizzy, sleepy and slightly disoriented if you drink this too quickly, as I have just done. But in the end, you will be happier for it!
Here is what I used for my hot chocolate:
-Cocoa Camino Bitter 70% Dark Chocolate Couverture Drops - organic and fair trade(http://www.lasiembra.com/camino/en/professional-industrial-lines/bittersweet-chocolate-couverture-european)
-Cocoa Camino Organic Dark Hot Chocolate (28 grams) instant packet - organic and fair trade (http://www.lasiembra.com/camino/en/hot-chocolate/dark)
-35% whipping cream
The Cocoa Camino hot chocolate line is by far my favourite hot chocolate. The ingredients are natural, minimal, organic and fair trade. Also, their couverture chocolate has no soy lecithin, no vanilla and just has three ingredients: cocoa liquor, sugar, cocoa butter.
Well, I am warm and cozy now, the initial dizziness has gone away and I am happily enjoying the spike in my blood sugar and the little bit of caffeine from the chocolate. Have a great Saturday everyone.
Hi everyone, I wanted to share something I came across recently while looking for a better way to organize my Instagram content. I was scrolling through a creator forum and someone mentioned a tool for planning posts before uploading them. I was curious because I often change my mind after posting and wish I had arranged things differently. What caught my attention was how easy it felt to test different photo orders and imagine the final profile appearance. I tried this instagram layout app and spent some time moving posts around, comparing styles, and fixing a few messy combinations. I was happy with how much easier it became to prepare my feed. It saved me from random posting decisions and helped me feel more confident before sharing new photos. Now I usually plan a few posts ahead instead of guessing every time.
