In honor of our little Tea Time get together at the Grand America Hotel, I decided to try and duplicate a delicious hot chocolate many of us ordered.
Using THIS recipe for normal hot chocolate (slightly modified) and adding just two ingredients, I think it’s pretty yummy. Just a hint of coconut flavor and a delicious almond taste. I imagine you could probably modify THIS recipe as well, if you don’t have any sweetened condensed milk.
Coconut Almond Hot Chocolate
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. hot water
2 1/2 c. milk
1 can coconut milk
3/4 tsp. almond extract
Whisk all ingredients together in a large soup pot and heat through over medium heat. Do not boil. Serves 6-8.
*To cut back on calories, you could replace the coconut milk with regular milk and use coconut extract to taste. I also think that if you do use the can of coconut milk and still feel you want more coconut flavor, again the coconut extract is a good choice.
Enjoy!
ola bom dia vim deixar um beijo
Oh yum!
That WAS mighty good hot chocolate. :) If you buy fresh coconut milk and almond milk it is actually a little bit better than regular milk, calorie wise. Just…more expensive.
ohmi… that sounds FANTASTIC!!! I would love to add that flavor combo to my morning coffee, too! mmmm. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awwww this looks YUMMY!!! And what’s better than hot chocolate to warm up cold winter evenings? :)
