toasted coconut hot chocolate
Creamy and luscious hot chocolate made with coconut milk then topped with marshmallow whipped cream and toasted coconut. This could easily become your favorite hot beverage this winter. It is important to use high quality cocoa powder and chocolate for this recipe. Your hot chocolate only tastes as good as your ingredients! I made this using all coconut milk but you may use 1/4 to 1/2 cup dairy milk to replace some of the coconut if you wish. If you use more that that amount it won't be very coconutty.
