Trying out this new cocoa powder. It has 4x the fat compared to Hershey’s. 2g per tablespoon compared to 0.5g.
Trying it in my favorite application:
Chocolate Orange Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
- Float 2 pounds of cream cheese in warm water for 15 minutes.
- Mix with 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth.
- Add 3/4 cup cocoa, 2 tablespoons vanilla, 2 teaspoons orange extract, 1/4 cup Grand Marnier, and 5 eggs. Mix until smooth.
- Add an ENTIRE BAG of MINIATURE chocolate chips. IMPORTANT - full size chips won’t melt all the way and leaves a weird texture.
- Take a 9" springform pan, spray it with cooking spray, and coat the inside with another 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.
Pour the batter in the pan and bake at 200° F for EIGHT DAMN HOURS.
-
Cool to room temp, 2+ hours.
-
Flip upside down onto a plate, remove the pan and refrigerate as long as you can stand it. ;) Colder the better.
-
Flip right side up onto another plate, garnish with candied orange slices, and serve.
this brand also has the most genius opening and closing mechanism for a paper and cardboard box i’ve ever seen!
Also the self-referential box art is I believe the first ever example of that. It’s often called the “Droste Effect.”
I think 20 Mule Team Borax has the same effect on their box.
NGL, it took me a second to figure it out!
