The Abbey Resort, located in Fontana-On-Geneva-Lake, WI, serves hot cocoas and mulled cider during the cooler months of the year at both Bar West, a lounge with a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and Waterfront, the resort’s bar and grill with a great view and laid-back vibe. These cups of warmth are a wonderful addition to a day of ice skating, ice fishing, or relaxing after events. Planners looking for an added beverage experience will be pleased with customizable offerings available on The Abbey Resort’s catering menus, including their Original Hot Cocoa, Spicy Mayan Hot Cocoa, and Mulled Cider.
The Abbey Resort and Chef Joshua North, who oversees all culinary aspects of the resort, seek to source as much as 80% of its products from local dairies, farms, and shops, weather permitting. In fact, the resort’s keynote restaurant 240° West even displays a map showcasing its local purveyors, such as Ethereal Confections.
Original Hot Cocoa
The Abbey Resort partners with Ethereal Confections to serve the best of bean-to-bar cocoa around. Although the expert chocolatiers at Ethereal Confections suggest making their hot cocoa with milk, Chef North blends up the made-from-scratch cocoa with locally sourced heavy cream and tops it off with luxurious, freshly-whipped cream for extra decadence. For a special touch, Chef North suggests groups work with catering to offer this classic during a fun and festive s’more making gathering with toasted marshmallows for a completely edible treat!
Recipe:
Warm 2.5 tablespoons Ethereal Confections’ Original Hot Cocoa mix with four ounces of heavy whipping cream.
Top with freshly-whipped cream from a local dairy and garnish with pieces of shaved chocolate for a decadent winter treat.
Spicy Mayan Hot Cocoa
Adding a kick to a classic is the Spicy Mayan Hot Cocoa, which features Ethereal Confections’ Spicy Mayan Cocoa mix with notes of cayenne and cinnamon. Chef North serves up his own version using heavy cream from a local dairy farm and spices up the presentation with toasted marshmallows for a treat that is sure to warm up even the coldest of winter nights.
