Serendipity: Frozen Hot Chocolate

Serendipity: Frozen Hot Chocolate

Jonathan: Let me tell you something. This is the ultimate blend to drink. Where did you find this place?

Sara: I first came in because of the name. Serendipity. It’s one of my favorite words.

Jonathan: It is? Why?

Sara: ‘Cause it’s such a nice sound for what it means: a fortunate accident. Except I don’t really believe in accidents. I think fate’s behind everything.

This recipe is adapted from the Serendipity cookbook. I changed a few of the measurements to better suit my taste.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 4 oz / 110g / 1/2 cup - good quality chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp - cocoa powder the best quality you can find, I used Valrhona
• 2 tbsp - granulated sugar
• 12 oz / 340g / 1 1/2 cup - milk
• 3 cups - ice cubes
• 1/2 cup - cold heavy cream or more if you want more whipped cream
• 2 tsp - powdered sugar
• chocolate shavings

Method

 

1. Take the milk out of the refrigerator to take off the chill.
2. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl over a double boiler. Turn the heat down to low and heat just enough to melt the chocolate. Add the sugar and cocoa powder and mix to combine.
3. Slowly whisk in the milk. The mixture should look like a concentrated chocolate milk. Let cool to room temperature.
4. Combine the chocolate base and the ice in a blender and mix until lush and it's similar consistency to an icee.
5. Pour the frozen hot chocolate into a chilled goblet. Whisk the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until it reaches stiff peaks. Top the drink with the whip and garnish with the chocolate shavings.
