What’s not to love? For me this is heaven in a cup. Hot chocolate made in coconut milk is a traditional Colombian recipe and this delicious drink is perfect this time of year!
Ingredients
(4 servings)
2 cups coconut milk
3 cups milk
7 oz sweet chocolate, chopped
½ teaspoon coconut extract
Sugar to taste
Directions
1. Heat the milk in a saucepan on medium heat to just below the simmering point, add the coconut milk & chocolate. When the chocolate is melted, add the sugar and coconut extract.
2. Whisk vigorously or transfer to a blender. Reheat gently and serve immediately.

Oh Erica! This looks delicious. This would be perfect for a cold day.
P.S. I will be reaching out to you soon about preparing a Colombian entree for our cooking club. Don’t be surprised if other members of our cooking club reach out to you too.
Hot cocoa in coconut milk sounds amazing! I need to try it right away – luckily I’ve got the ingredients!
I cannot wait to try this
WOW! What a fantastic idea, Erica! I love coconut milk but never in a million years would it have occurred to me to use it for hot chocolate. I gotta try this! Oh wait, I have to buy some hot chocolate powder first!
Thank you guys!!!

Erica I like the introduction about you in the front!
This dessert is utterly for me, coconut and chocolate just amazing
Cheers!

This is a wonderful drink for these cold days, sounds so warming. I do love the ingredients you used here. I’ve never used coconut milk in such a drink. I must absolutely give it a try, but first I must look for coconut at bazaar.
oh wow choc and coconut nice mix, love the new site you look so cute
Oh that hot chocolate looks like the perfect drink!
That looks soo delicious! I’m bookmarking this recipe!
OMG Erica…that’s OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD : ) … i can’t believe this is the first time I am hearing of such an amazing take on hot chocolate…
How do you do this Erica..just how? I need to sit and learn. I agree with Palidor…it would have NEVER occurred to me to use coconut milk with chocolate! Just awesome. I will try this tonight and let you know first thing in the morning
Ooohh! I tried doing something simmilar for someone who doesn’t like milk. I thought it was too thick – I’ll have to try blending it like you do – yours sounds great.
Indeed: this is haeven, I agree!
MMMMMMMMMMM,…I am going to make this right now! Thanks !
Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments!
Now, this is what I call heaven. Yummy!
Oh man…what a great combo. I’m going to have to make this for my girls when it starts to cool off (hopefully soon).
Btw…I have a little surprise for you…pop on over and get it
Thank you, Danielle!
My husband is reading the recipe over my shoulder and I’ll repeat his words, “that sounds decadent. That sounds good” My thoughts exactly!
And coconut milk is so good for you… and you add a little (dark) chocolate. Hmmmm. Thanks. I’LL DO IT!
Thank you all for visiting!
OMG, this is HEAVEN! It’s bookmarked already, just have to get coconut milk now…
I can’t find coconut extract here. Is there anything I could replace it with? Shredded coconut maybe?
Ap269- You can try that!
Just made this amazing hot chocolate to go with my pan de bonos. I’m so glad I found your site!
