Jacked Up Baking: Part II | Food+Drink

Last week I brought you a mouth watering pie recipe and today is part two of my boozed up baking experience! I present to you our Maple Bourbon Hot Chocolate.?

Unlike the pie recipe that was passed on to me from a friends mother, this hot chocolate recipe was found?online. At first, we were courageously going to attempt to make a bacon whipped cream, but decided against it because it sounded too?riskay?and somewhat disgusting. We instead settled for a simple whipped cream with a splash of Jack for some extra pizazz! I then topped it off with a few extra pieces of leftover maple bacon we had used for the pie? probably not the best idea because they then sunk to the bottom of my glass and proceeded to get soggy. So, ensure you do?not?add bacon. Whipped cream will do just fine. Besides, the drink itself is quite boozey and delicious as it is!

Keep in mind we made the pie and hot chocolate on the same day, so it was an overload of Jack Daniels. I?d highly suggest not to pair these two things together or you might be drunk by the end of it. (But maybe that?s not such a bad thing?)

• 2 ? cup whole milk
• ? cup dark chocolate
• 1 tbl spoon dark brown sugar
• 2 tbl spoons maple syrup
• Pinch of salt
• ? cup of bourbon

Step 1?

Finely chop the chocolate into small pieces. Be careful not to chop your fingers off, you need them. The pieces should be able to dissolve easily in the liquid.

Step 2

Pour milk into a small pot on low heat and bring to a simmer.?Whisk once in a while to ensure that the milk doesn?t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Add the chocolate, brown sugar (we had no brown sugar so we used regular sugar. Sugar is sugar in my mind!), maple syrup and salt.

Step 4

Whisk vigorously until chocolate has melted. ?Heat for another 4 minutes, constantly stirring. Make sure no chocolate sticks to the bottom of the pot. Trust me, that shit is a bitch to clean off.

Step 5

Now for the best part! Add the bourbon (we used Jack Daniels) at the last minute.

Step 6

Take some whipping cream and whisk until fluffy. Add a teaspoon/splash,/whole bottle if you like, into the mixture. If you want your whipped cream a little sweeter just add some sugar.

?Step 7

Pour into a mug?and add some whipped?cream. Sip on that! Pure bliss!
