Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipes

Steps:

• Break the bittersweet chocolate into pieces and place it in a medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until just melted. Off the heat, whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, and half-and-half and set aside.
• Place 3/4 cup of the milk, 2 tablespoons of the coffee liqueur, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla, and half of the chocolate mixture in a blender. Add 2 cups of the ice and blend for several minutes, until the mixture is thick but not icy, like a frozen daiquiri. (You can add a little more milk or ice if it's too thick or too thin.) Pour into two (10-ounce) ice cream soda glasses and top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and some grated chocolate. Repeat for the second two glasses. Serve ice cold with straws and long-handled spoons.
• Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the cream forms very soft peaks (don't overbeat or the cream will be too firm).

Steps:

• Chop chocolate into small pieces and place in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
• Stir occasionally until melted.
• 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, pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
• Whipped cream: Combine the cream and the vanilla and mix well with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
• Start whipping the cream on medium speed.
• Add the corn syrup slowly while beating.
• Whip until the cream holds soft peaks.
• Slather, drop and dollop onto whatever your heart desires.
• Enjoy with a straw or a spoon!
