FRRROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE: SERENDIPITY'S BEST-KEPT SECRET

3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 teaspoons cocoa
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups ice cubes
Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. (Or melt in microwave.) Add the cocoa and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk and stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

In a blender place the remaining cup of milk, the room temperature chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Be sure to stir with a rubber spatula several times to make sure all the ice is blended.

Pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Enjoy with a spoon or a straw. . . .or both!






New adaptation: 1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups ice

Mix cocoa, sugar and milk with a whisk until smooth. Pour into blender. Add ice and blend until ice is smoothly blended.

NOTES : This is a winner even without the whipped cream. It has the consistency of Starbuck's Frappucinno with a great chocolate taste.

 
I never thought of having my hot chocolate frozen. I only use chocolate, no cocoa, would it still

work, do you think? I'd love to try this.

 
No, sorry, can't convince me that eating something frozen would be a good thing right now. nope.

 
Do they recommend types of chocolate/brands?

I bought packets of the Frozen Chocolate Drink from Serendipity as part of a holiday gift this yr and when I was reading reviews of folks who'd been there vs recipes, they thought the secret of the restaurant version might be in a blend of several types/brands of chocolate used to make the drink.

Was there any recommendations on chocolate in the book?
