With a chocolate donut that dark? Ehh. I'd rather do plain milk, I think; that combo's fine. (Especially if that donut's as rich as it looks.) But it wasn't the right color for either. 1 hour ago, wcw43921 said: Perhaps it's hot chocolate? Even with natural cocoa powder, it's too light...at least to get any notable chocolate flavor. 4 hours ago, Cygnia said: My 1st attempt at making Malay sponge cake And you're not gonna give us ANY hint on what's in it???????

But it looks like we're in agreement about that pairing. I also agree with coffee and chocolate. But I don't add cream or sugar with my coffee.

But it looks like we're in agreement about that pairing. I also agree with coffee and chocolate. But I don't add cream or sugar with my coffee. Nor I. save for occasionally. Festival coffee...start with a nice dark roast (to stand up to the rest), a bit of spice atop the grounds before brewing, very lightly sweetened, a bit of half and half (first choice, cream too easily separates). On a cold, wet day, an afternoon mocha. Coffee's brewed EXTRA strong...maybe 2/3 the amount of water. Approx an equal amount of decadent hot choc...2 parts half and half to 1 part cream, heavy on the cocoa powder, good dollop of stevia (sugar is verboten these days), a heavy shake of cinnamon, maybe a dose of vanilla. Largely a holiday season indulgence. And the evening coffee drinks...strong coffee again, liqueur of choice, heavy cream (or whipped cream) on top and allowed to filter down. That said: those work better, IMO, as dessert rather than with dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Speaking of pumpkin spice...brekkers was a pumpkin spice griddle cake. Mostly coconut and almond flours...the pumpkin spice blended quite nicely. With about 100 grams of blue/black/raspberries, zapped in the wave, with a bit of stevia and cinnamon added, in lieu of a high-sugar syrup. Yumm...

Cancer Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 OK, I've made spiced tofu tacos, and pumpkin seems like a plausible spice substrate also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I'd recommend either avocado &/or crema of some kind with the tacos (at least if you use the recipe I linked). While the spice level was good, it's crying out for something fatty to enhance it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
