Hawaiian Hot Chocolate
Imagine sipping a warm drink that tastes like a luau in a cup. That’s what our Hawaiian Hot Chocolate brings to the table. It’s rich, creamy, and topped with all the fruity goodness you can dream of. Here’s what you will need:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of milk (or coconut milk for that extra tropical flair)
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream
- Toasted coconut flakes (for that island vibe)
- A handful of mini marshmallows (because why not?)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, but let’s be real, who says no to more chocolate?)
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. You know, the usual suspects that make any hot drink fantastic.
- Add a splash of milk and mix it up until there are no cocoa lumps. We definitely don’t want lumpy chocolate; it’s hot cocoa, not hot cocoa-corn!
- Gradually whisk in the remaining milk over medium heat. Keep stirring until it’s all warm and cozy—but not boiling. We want it hot, not a chocolate volcano!
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Take a moment to appreciate the aroma—it’s like a hug from a Hawaiian palm tree!
- Pour that magic into your favorite mug. It’s like a mini vacation in a vessel!
- Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, a few mini marshmallows, and don’t hold back on the chocolate shavings!
