  1. Excellent taste and really simple to make. I also used 2/3 cup of sugar and water it does improve the texture and I chilled it overnight before I dug in. Yum
     
  2. Powdered chocolate makes this even easier to make. I use ~1/2 cup Guittard Sweet Ground Chocolate. It's not cocoa, it is literally ground chocolate -- the kind you sprinkle on a latte.
     
  3. Really delicious! The combination of chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of chili powder (not enough to know what it is -- enough to say, "What *is* that?!") is perfection! I cut the simple syrup back to 2/3 cup each water and sugar (versus 3/4); it doesn't need to be that sweet, and improves the texture, I think.
     
  4. Excellent and incredibly easy. My 20-year-old son convinced me to try this when he saw it in the New York Times. It's a bit rich in flavor, so we usually serve it with some whipped cream.
     
  5. really surprisingly good.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
