  • fast FAST
ACTIVE TIME: 10 MIN
SERVES: 8
Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson created this ultrarich hot chocolate topped with coconut cream for his partner Bobby Stuckey’s wife, Danette, who has a sweet tooth. "At Frasca, we make a lot of desserts with chocolate or coconut, so we just kept going and came up with this drink," says Lachlan.
ingredients
  • One 13.5 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 2/3 cups whole milk
  • 3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (18 ounces)
  • Marshmallows, for serving (optional)
directions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sugar and heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; keep warm. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and whole milk and bring to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips and remove from the heat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted; whisk until smooth. Pour the chocolate into 8 mugs and spoon some of the coconut milk on top. Garnish with the marshmallows and serve.
