My review
Hawaiian Hot Chocolate
L Mac
"I created this drink from the memories of a trip to Hawaii, where I met my (now) husband. Surprisingly, it does get chilly in Hawaii, especially at night and in cold, rainy regions. This is a different take on the usual cold and frozen Hawaiian libations."

Ready In
- Whisk half-and-half, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-high heat until cocoa and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat when mixture begins to steam, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Whisk vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt into cocoa mixture. Pour into glasses and top each with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Can substitute coconut emulsion for coconut extract. Coconut emulsion pairs well with cocoa better than coconut extracts that I have tried. Likely due to less alcohol in the emulsion. The emulsion I use has a strong flavor, and recipes may need to be adjusted based on flavor and your preference.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons coconut rum to each mug before serving to make an adult version of this hot chocolate.

As it is this isn't my favorite hot chocolate recipe. I like it better with these changes: 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp coconut extract, 1/4 tsp salt, and a tablespoon or t...
