Chocolate Chipotle Brownies
Recipe By : RisaG

i n g r e d i e n t s
3/4 cup butter or margarine
6 ounces semi sweet chocolate -- broken into small pieces
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoons chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raisins -- soaked overnight in beer
1/2 cup hazelnuts -- toasted & chopped
confectioners' sugar -- for garnish

d i r e c t i o n s
Put the butter and chocolate in a microwaveable dish
and melt them together on HIGH for a few seconds at a
time until the chocolate was melted. Stir well. Cool.

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until they start to
thicken. Add the sugars. Continue beating until the mixture
is light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and chocolate mixture.

Lightly toast the spices in a skillet over low heat, stirring
often and don't allow to burn.! Combine the spices and flour in a bowl with a whisk.

Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently add the
raisins and hazelnuts, stirring just until combined. Don't
over-mix.

Pour the mixture into a greased and floured 9" round pan.
Bake in a 350°F oven just until set 25-30 minutes. Cool
in the pan. Turn out and cut into wedges. If desired,
dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with vanilla
ice cream.

Answer 7

Mexican Orange Candy
This is a Christmas specialty.

1 C. sugar
1 1/2 C. milk
2 C. sugar
Grated rind of two oranges
Pinch of salt
1/2 C. butter
1 C. nuts

Melt the first cup of sugar in a large vessel over medium heat while the milk is scalding in another saucepan.

When the sugar is melted (stir continually and watch to keep from scorching), add the hot milk, all at once, stirring. Add the other two cups of sugar to this mixture. This will cause a hard ball in the mixture, but keep stirring until dissolved. Cook until it forms a hard ball in water or use a candy thermometer. Just before it is done, add grated orange rind, salt, butter and nuts. Remove from heat and beat until creamy. Pour into a buttered 9-inch square pan to cool. Cut into squares when cooled.

Mexican Flan
6 eggs
1 can condensed milk
1 c regular milk
1 T vanilla
1 T lemon juice
1/2 c regular sugar
1 c cherimoya, peeled, seeded, and chunked or your
favorite fruit garnish

PREPARATION METHOD
Mix all the ingredients (except the sugar) using a
mixer.
In a small pan (at medium heat) melt sugar until it turns
caramel-brown.
Separately, cover the bottom and sides of a pie dish with
the caramel-brown sugar, before it cools off, add the
mixture you prepared with all the ingredietns and
cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Place the pie dish with the mixture and the caramel
in a double boil pot.
Put the double boil pot in the oven at 400 degrees F and
cook it until your inserted knife (test) in the middle
of the mixture comes out clean.
It might take an hour of cooking time.

Let it cool for a few minutes and turn it over in
a flat dish or tray.


Suspiros

Mexican.

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 - egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz/100 g) natural cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mexican Suspiros
Preparation - Estimated cooking time: Over 60 minutes
-
1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line
a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Sift together cocoa powder and cinnamon onto a piece
of wax paper.
3 With an electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of
tartar on high speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar,
beating until soft peaks form. Reduce mixer speed to
low and slowly sprinkle in cocoa-cinnamon mixture.
Beat in vanilla. Increase mixer speed to high and beat
until stiff peaks form.
4 Transfer mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a
1/2-inch (1.25-cm) star tip. Holding the pastry bag
perpendicular to the prepared baking sheet, pipe 1
1/4-inch (3-cm) rounds, lifting the bag straight up
