Chocolate Citrus Slushy Recipes

Steps:

• Put milk through cocoa in a medium saucepan, cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a slow boil and sugar is dissolved Lower heat and simmer about 2 minutes, stirring mixture a few times (watching for burn/ boil over), stir in vanilla- set aside to cool Pour cooled mixture into a freezer safe covered container and freeze.
• Place frozen mixture in a blender, blend to a slush.
• Freeze any leftover portion.
• Note: I use my coffee grinder to get a finer grind of the sugar, not powdered, just a fine grind.

Steps:

• In a large container, dissolve sugar and gelatins in boiling water. Stir in the pineapple juice concentrate, lemon juice, drink mix and cold water. If desired, divide among smaller containers. Cover and freeze, stirring several times., Remove from freezer at least 1 hour before serving. Stir until mixture becomes slushy. Just before serving, place 9 cups slush mixture in a punch bowl; stir in 1 liter ginger ale. Repeat with remaining slush and ginger ale. If desired, garnish with lime slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in another large bowl until pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the orange and lemon zests to the dry ingredients. Add the flour mixture to the eggs and sugar and beat just until blended (the dough will be soft and sticky). Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, forming two mounds spaced evenly apart. Moisten your hands with water and shape the dough into two 11 by 4-inch logs. Bake until lightly brown, about 35 minutes. Cool the logs for 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. Arrange the biscotti cut side down on the same baking sheet. Bake until the biscotti are pale and golden, about 25 minutes. Cool the biscotti on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
• Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Dip 1 cut side of each biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti, chocolate side up, on the baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes. Dip a pastry brush in the cocoa, then lightly brush the cocoa over the chocolate on each biscotti.
• The biscotti can be made ahead. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Add the sorbet, almond milk, orange juice concentrate, vanilla extract and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed for 1 minute.
• Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly among 4 glasses. Divide the slushy among the glasses. Make a small slit in each of the orange candy slices and place one on the edge of each glass. Serve with a spoon.

Steps:

• Combine all in a bullet (the magic bullet tool is what I use, but I'm sure a blender would work fine).
• Blend until the ice cubes have been crushed.
• Pour into a serving glass and garnish with a wedge of lime.
• If you prefer your drink less thick, add a splash of diet sprite or 7-up.
