Serendipity’s Chocolate Blend
1 1/2 teaspoons sweetened Van Houton cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons sweetened Droste cocoa
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 Godiva flowers (dark and light chocolate to taste)
1/2 ounce each of the following world-class chocolates:
Callebaut, Valrhona, Lindt, Cadbury, Anton Berg, Freia, Marabo, Ghirardelli, Cacao Barry
1/2 cup milk
Frozen Hot Chocolate
1 generous ladleful of Serendipity’s secret blend of over a dozen
imported chocolates
1/2 pint [1 cup] milk
1/2 quart [2 cups] crushed ice
Chocolate Blend
In the top of a double boiler over boiling water, melt the first two cocoas with the sugar and butter, creaming to a smooth paste.
Add the remaining chocolates and continue melting, slowly dribbling the milk into the mixture and stirring constantly until thoroughly blended and smooth as silk.
Cool to room temperature and follow the recipe for Frozen Hot Chocolate.
Frozen Hot Chocolate
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high. If your frozen slush looks more like slush, slowly add more ice.
When a thick stage is reached, pour into a grapefruit bowl [or similar serving container of your choice] and top with a mound of whipped cream, sprinkle with grated chocolate. Insert two straws for sipping and serve with an iced-tea spoon for devouring.
