SWEET SERENDIPITY

I have always wanted to have a bakery called Just Desserts. I got this blog as a Christmas gift from my good friend, Diva Leigh, so that I can have a virtual bakery even if I can't have one in real life right now!




She also gave me
Sweet Serendipity: Delightful Desserts and Devilish Dish so we could sample the cover featured recipe of frozen hot chocolate as the inagural bakery treat!





"Frrrozen" Hot Chocolate (Food T.V. version)

6 (1/2-ounce) pieces your favorite chocolates (can be a variety)
2 teaspoons store bought hot chocolate mix
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups ice
Whipped cream, for garnish
Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring 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 1 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.

Enjoy!
