Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup cherries, pitted
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup of pitted cherries, 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
- In a blender, pour in the coconut milk. This will serve as the creamy base of your dessert.
- Add the pitted cherries to the blender. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can chop them into smaller pieces before adding.
- Next, add the chocolate chips. You can use semi-sweet, dark, or even milk chocolate chips based on your preference.
- Finally, drizzle in the honey. This will add a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors. You can adjust the amount based on your taste.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once blended, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a little more honey and blend again.
- Pour the Cherry Chocolate Coconut Milk into a glass or bowl. You can serve it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat later.
- For an extra touch, consider garnishing with a few whole cherries or a sprinkle of chocolate chips on top before serving.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture and ripe, sweet cherries for the best flavor.
- Temperature matters: For a refreshing summer drink, serve chilled. For a cozy winter treat, you can slightly warm the mixture.
- Chocolate chip selection: Experiment with different types of chocolate chips - dark chocolate will add depth, while milk chocolate will make it sweeter.
- Customize your sweetness: Adjust the honey to suit your taste. You can also substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Garnish creatively: Try topping with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, a few whole cherries, or a chocolate drizzle for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
- Make it ahead: This drink can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
