Just the thing to warm up a cold February night. Lighten up: Use light whipping cream and omit the chocolate to cut calories and fat. Ingredients:
4 cups cherry cider or cherry juice |
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half |
15 whole cloves |
2 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1/3 cup chilled whipping cream |
5 teaspoons kirsch (clear cherry brandy) |
1 2-ounce piece semisweet chocolate (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring cherry cider, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and 1 tablespoon sugar to boil in heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until spiced cider is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Strain cider.
2. Whisk whipping cream, kirsch, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl to very soft peaks. Ladle cider into glass mugs and top with kirsch cream. Garnish each serving with some grated chocolate, if desired.
