Mayan Cocoa Arroz Con Leche

8 min

Mexican Chocolate Spiced Rice Pudding, known as "Arroz con Leche," is a quick and comforting dessert that ingeniously utilizes leftover plain white rice. It effortlessly comes together in minutes, thanks to our Mayan Cocoa mix. The blend gives the rice pudding a hint of bittersweetness from Valrhona Cocoa Powder, and a spicy kick from ancho chiles and cinnamon.  Enjoy it either warm or chilled – this dessert is a delicious treat that is luscious and satisfying. 

Mayan Cocoa Frozen Custard

Frozen custard is luscious, silky, and decadent. When it melts, its creamy richness cools you off as you enjoy the explosion of chocolate flavor. In this recipe, we used our Mayan Cocoa which not only makes a tasty drinking chocolate but also a seasoned custard with warm spices like true cinnamon, allspice and ancho chile flake for a kick. To transport us to a chocoholic's paradise, we melted dark chocolate and swirled cherries into the custard to give brightness. Making ice cream is an experience, and this one will make you guilty of constantly taste testing. Give this base a quick spin in an ice cream machine and enjoy it with a sprinkle of toasted White Sesame Seed.

Naughty Mayan Cocoa

Sweet and slightly spicy, Mayan Cocoa captures the indulgent spirit of the season. This decadent spice blend adds spicy notes like chile, cinnamon, allspice to a base of rich Valrhona cocoa powder for a bold beverage with multiple layers of flavor. To add a boozy kick, we opted to spike our cocoa with hazelnut liqueur and horchata-flavored rum. With a bit of whipped cream on top as a garnish, the cocktail is complete. This luscious concoction is sweet and delightfully bold... and it just might tempt you into seconds.

Mayan Cocoa Pumpkin Bark

It's no secret that nuts and chocolate are a delicious pairing, and we never tire of finding new ways to combine them. In this pumpkin bark, toasted pumpkin seeds take center stage with dark chocolate, Mayan Cocoa and Cinnamon Toast Spice. The hints of allspice and chile are delightful alongside three varieties of cinnamon and the toasty crunch of the nuts. We chose to top the bark with sea salt, too. This treat comes together quickly and travels well, so make a round for afternoon snacks or your next gathering.
