Hawaiian Hot Chocolate Recipe

Recipe by: 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."

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.
