Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 0.25 cup Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Shredded coconut (for garnish)
- 1 piece Pineapple wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat until smooth and glossy. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, melted dark chocolate, honey (if using), and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Blend briefly again if adding additional honey.
Pour the Choco Colada into two tall glasses.
Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Garnish each glass with a fresh pineapple wedge for a tropical touch.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your indulgent Choco Colada!
