KEKUA MEXICAN CHOCOLATE ON OCTOBER 16
October 17, 2010
Fall is finally here, and as one of my favorite seasons in New York, I’m getting ready to start enjoying hot cocoa. The other day my friend Jennifer gave me a beautiful wrapped Mexican chocolate called Kekua, which is a 100% natural chocolate that’s handmade from Mexican cacao beans, cinnamon and sugar (there is a sugar-free version and a version that incorporates crushed almonds). The cacao beans are ground into a powder in a manner reminiscent of the traditional process done with a stone-chiseled “metate” or mortar.[br]
Kekua can be used in spicy Mexican dishes like moles, and is most commonly used to make a rich, comforting and not too sweet hot chocolate drink that can also be served over ice. [br]
