Thanksgiving Desserts

[iwantmypup]

Hiya guys!

So.. I am going to be making Thanksgiving dessert this year! Woo!
But I have NO clue what to make! We are also getting a pumpkin pie...so I do have backup.
But can you guys help me out? What do I make?

We are going for groceries this weekend too...so I can have the ingredients.:)

Oh and here is the stuff we do not want in the dessert:

Pecans
And like.. Pies.. like Apples, cherries and stuff...:p

What can we make without those things? Lol....:p

Thanks guys!

I have a recipe for very special hot chocolate. You make it with melted chocolate from a good chocolate bar, and whisk it a lot, and it comes out almost thick enough to hold up a spoon. You dip doughnuts in it, and it makes a great cold weather dessert. It isn't a pie and doesn't have pecans. I'll post the recipe for Chocolata.

Basic Chocolata

2 cups milk
3 1/2 to 4 ounces dark chocolate

Cut the chocolate into small pieces to make melting easier. Combine milk and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted. Raise heat to medium or just over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When it reaches the boil, remove from the heat and whisk briskly. Return to the boil, remove from heat, whisk briskly. Repeat this process of bringing to a boil and whisking several more times. Remove from the heat, and let cool for 15 minutes, whisking every 5 minutes to prevent a skin from forming. Pour into 9-ounce mugs. Serves 2.

Fancy Chocolata

2 cups milk
3 1/2 to 4 ounces dark chocolate
zest of 1/2 an orange
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder

Cut the chocolate into small pieces to make melting easier. Combine milk and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted. Add the instant coffee and orange zest. Raise heat to medium or just over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When it reaches the boil, remove from the heat and whisk briskly. Return to the boil, remove from heat, whisk briskly. Repeat this process of bringing to a boil and whisking several more times. Remove from the heat, and let cool for 15 minutes, whisking every 5 minutes to prevent a skin from forming. Strain out the orange zest. Pour into 9-ounce mugs. Serves 2.

Serving suggestion: Serve with doughnuts or churros for dipping.

Notes:

Dark Chocolate - Any high-quality intense dark chocolate will do, but I prefer a dark Belgian chocolate, like Cote d'Or Noir de Noir, but I've used a number of good, intense dark chocolates, and had it turn out well.

Bittersweet Chocolate - It can be made with bittersweet chocolate. If you want to do that, use 3 1/2 to 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, and 2 tablespoons of sugar, instead of dark chocolate.

Dairy Free - Substitute almond milk for the milk, and be sure to use a dairy-free dark chocolate (most dark chocolates over 70% cocoa are dairy-free). Shelf-stable almond milk is available in the natural foods section of the grocery where you would find soy milk or rice milk. Almond milk is spectacular with chocolata.
