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.
Ingredients
- 3 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup 2% milk
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup whipped cream, or more to taste
- ¼ cup toasted, shredded coconut
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Whisk vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt into cocoa mixture. Pour into glasses and top each with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
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.
