Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate

Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate

• • 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) unsweetened coconut milk

  • 2 ounces cream or half 'n' half

  • 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

  • pinch nutmeg

  • pinch salt

Baker's Note: If using bittersweet or semisweet chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate, slightly reduce the amount of brown sugar used. This is a rich hot chocolate, meant to be served as a dessert.

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan; warm over medium low heat, whisking until smooth, until hot but not boiling. Pour the hot chocolate into a blender and blend for 30 seconds to make it very light and foamy. Pour into cups and enjoy!
