A few years ago, the husband and I got the Las Vegas bug. For years we have gone the second weekend of September. This is the perfect time of the year because there is football for sports betting, warm weather for hanging by the pool, and nice weather for walking down the strip. One of the places we fell in love with was Serendipity. They have a number of locations, but we have only been to the restaurant in Las Vegas. Their food is delicious. Their desserts are decadent. One of their most famous desserts is their frozen hot chocolate.
Yesterday’s advent calendar reveal was Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur. (You can read the post here.) In the post, I detailed that I mixed the liqueur with a frozen hot chocolate recipe similar to the famous dessert you can find at Serendipity. Today I am sharing the recipe that I used. It is a fantastic twist on hot chocolate.
