Hawaiian Hot Chocolate

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:

  1. In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. You know, the usual suspects that make any hot drink fantastic.
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. Pour that magic into your favorite mug. It’s like a mini vacation in a vessel!
  6. 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!

And there you have it! A delightful Hawaiian Hot Chocolate that will make even the grumpiest of hermits crack a smile. Whether you’re sipping it by the fire or lounging in your imaginary hammock, this recipe is sure to bring the taste of the tropics to your cozy nook. Enjoy!
