When Chef Kevin from House of the Little Pig turned our Mushroom Cocoa into ice cream at the Farmers and Foodies Dinner, it got us thinking...this stuff really does do it all. Here are our favorite ways to get creative with it at home.
Whisk a heaping teaspoon into steamed milk for a rich, earthy take on your morning ritual. Add a little honey and you're in business.
As Chef Kevin proved, Mushroom Cocoa is an unexpectedly dreamy addition to homemade ice cream. Blend it into your custard base for a deep, complex chocolate flavor.
Swap out a tablespoon of regular cocoa for Mushroom Cocoa in your favorite brownie recipe. The depth it adds is something else entirely.
Toss a teaspoon into your morning smoothie alongside banana, almond butter, and oat milk. You won't even know it's there, but you'll feel the difference.
Mix Mushroom Cocoa with smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne for a rub that'll make your next grilled chicken or pork ribs unforgettable.
Shake it up cold with milk, a touch of maple syrup, and ice for a refreshing drink that hits different on a hot Idaho afternoon.
Use it anywhere your recipe calls for cocoa powder. The earthy undertones pair beautifully with vanilla and brown sugar. Great for a weekend baking project!
Add a spoonful to a slow-simmered tomato and chili sauce for a mole-style richness. Serve over chicken or roasted veggies and watch people ask what your secret is.
Stir a teaspoon into your overnight oats with chia seeds and a splash of vanilla. By morning you've got a chocolatey, cozy breakfast waiting for you.
Sometimes the classic is the classic for a reason. Stir into hot water or milk, sweeten to taste, and curl up. That's it. That's the whole recipe.
