Method

  1. If using, scoop the set cream off the top of your chilled coconut milk and place in a bowl. Whisk on high for 2-4 mins until stiff. Set aside in the fridge.
  2. Place the chocolate and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl. Pour the coconut milk drink into a saucepan and place over a medium heat until boiling point. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate, whisking until combined. Stir in the rum.
  3. Divide the hot chocolate mixture between 4 cups and top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream (if using) and a sprinkling of desiccated coconut and cinnamon.

Tip: If you have any leftover coconut milk in the tin, pour into ice cube trays and freeze for adding to curries and soups.
