Frozen hot chocolate, Serendipity style

Serendipity- A fortunate accident or discovery.

My friends, this frozen hot chocolate was no accident on my part, at least. I knew what I was doing the whole time. And that is, trying to replicate the greatest of all frozen drinks, the most phenomenally delicious frozen hot chocolate, made exclusively by Serendipity 3, that cute little restaurant in NYC.


Oh, and this is my kid, Lorelai waiting for me to finish taking pictures and find a straw...

And this is how she eats a frozen hot chocolate when mommy takes too long taking pictures. Yep. I should've see that one coming.
