Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 12:07:07 PM I found this recipe for creamer on someone's blog somewhere. I want to make it but I don't know what baking cocoa is. Does anyone know? And where would I get it? in the baking aisle?
Here's the recipe.
2 cups 1/2 and 1/2 1/3 cup baking cocoa 1 1/4 cups succanot (or regular sugar) peppermint extract
Combine 1st 3 ingredients in saucepan on medium heat. Do not get too hot. Remove from heat and add a few drops peppermint extract. Keep refrigerated.
Now doesn't that sound too good? I want to make some for my 2 DDs for Christmas. But need to know what the baking cocoa is first.
Thanks. Kris

Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 3:07:57 PM Ok, so I think I am going to just use the unsweetened cocoa that I make hot cocoa with? That sounds pretty easy to do. And thatnks for the advice, Sheri.
Diana, I get mine in 50 pound bags in Atlanta. It's about $80.00. But you can find it at any grocery store or health food place. In the sugar section. There are all kinds of "real" raw sugar. I have used succanot for years now in everything. But not to make jams and jelly. It just will not work. So I have to use white sugar for that if I want it to gel.

Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 2:54:34 PM No, cocoa is just powder - like hersheys in the baking aisle. It's unsweetened. There are two types, dutched and the type like hersheys. Either type will work for the creamer. One piece of advice for you - dissolve the cocoa powder in a little boiling water before adding it or you will get lumps floating. Let it cool a bit before adding it to your cream.
Blessings, Sheri

Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 2:16:57 PM Succanot is dehydrated cane juice. I have the kind with honey in it. So the cocoa is like chocolate squares?

Posted - Dec 16 2009 : 1:29:17 PM Unsweetened baking cocoa is either powdered or in blocks what Is succanot?
Either would work I think.
