Preparation
Step 1
Take chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, and heat it on high for 30 seconds. Take out and check if its melted, if not keep it for 10 more seconds. Repeat if necessary one more time, checking in between to avoid the burning.
Step 2
Once it melted, mix it with rest of the stuff except the stuff mentioned optional and give a churn in the blender. Once its blended properly, add ice cubes if you are using. I didn’t use ice cubes at all, and I liked that creamy texture.
Step 3
Pour in the glasses, and garnish with crushed mint leaves and dessicated coconut . Serve chilled
You may omit sugar completely, and increase the quantity of coconut milk to make it sweeter.
I didn’t use ice cubes at all, and it was a bit thick. Just the way I wanted it to be, you may like a more runny version.
You may omit chocolate completely, but it gives a very different flavour to the drink so its highly recommended
Don’t leave the chocolate for more than 2 minute outside lese it will harden up and you will have to melt it again.
