Oprah recently featured this treat as one of her favorite things. I ordered the mix from Serendipity in NYC. The food editor from our local paper went in search of the recipe after numerous requests from readers and here it is--straight from Serendipity 3 restaurant. When my mix arrives, I'll let you know how this recipe compares to the real deal.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces of your favorite chocolate
  • 2 teaspoons store-bought hot chocolate powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 cups ice cubes
  • lightly sweetened whipped cream
  • chocolate shavings

Directions

  1. 1
    Chop chocolate into small pieces and place in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted.
  2. 2
    Add chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup milk, stirring until smooth.
  3. 3
    Cool to room temperature.
  4. 4
    In blender, place the remaining 1 cup milk, room-temperature chocolate mixture and ice.
  5. 5
    Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
  6. 6
    Enjoy with a spoon or a straw.

This recipe has a lot of potential...I followed it exactly and it wasn't as chocolatey or rich as Serendipity's version (I don't even have a huge sweet tooth). The amount of chocolate should be increased (maybe even to 6 ounces) and the amount of ice cubes should be waaaay less. I only had a 3 oz chocolate bar and ended up squeezing extra squirts of chocolate syrup into the drink. That said, thank you for the recipe, I'm excited to try it with the tweaks again!

    My DH and I thought this was so-so, but I made it especially for my DS who loved it--so that is why I'm giving it 4 stars. It was a bit more of a pain than other cold chocolate bevvies I've made him (like chocolate shakes), so I'm not sure if I'll make it again. I cut it down to make one serving, but even so it was enough to fill 2 large milkshake glasses with some left over. So if you want a single serving, probably a 1/2 serving would be enough unless you have really super-huge glasses to serve it in. I used good-quality milk chocolate chips, melted in the microwave instead of in the double boiler since it was such a small amount. I used whole milk and Swiss Miss milk chocolate hot choccy mix. Thanks for posting, Sharlene! Made for Comfort Cafe January 2009.

    I made this for my boys while they were home for the Christmas holidays! We had this at Senedipity in NYC, so I wanted to compare the two. The one at the restaurant is more chocolaty. I believe they bump up the chocolate and skimp a little on the ice used in this recipe. However, this recipe is excellent! If you want to make this into the peanut butter version (my fav), just add 3 TBS to the blender Thank so much, Sharlene!

    this is excellent...have made it several times now... due to lack of ingredients in my pantry and patience,I did substitute 2tsp of unsweetened baking cocoa and 2tsp additional sugar for the hot chocolate powder and used 1/3cup semisweet chocolate chips for the chocolate..instead of melting the choc in a double boiler, I dissolved the cocoa and sugar in the 1/2c milk, added the choc chips and stuck it in the microwave to melt the chocolate then I followed the rest of the recipe as stated. I love this stuff!
