frozen hot chocolate is a signature dish at the
Serendipity 3, nestled in the heart of the upper east
side of New York. The place is a general store and
restaurant combined with a coffeehouse and soda fountain
and serves the most famous dessert in New York. |
|
| Serendipity New
York was founded by Stephen Bruce and his two partners,
Calvin Holt and Preston "Patch" Caradine in 1954. Since
that time Stephen Bruce has been asked constantly to
divulge his secret about his Serendipity frozen hot
chocolate recipe. Jackie Kennedy even wanted to serve
the dessert at a White House event and he would not give
his secret away. |

frozen hot chocolate is an icy-chocolate type of dessert
served in a fishbowl-shaped goblet, topped with whipped
cream, shaved chocolate and served with a spoon and two
straws. This frosty creation is made with more than 14
kinds of chocolate and exotic cocoas blended into a rich
slush. |
|
| One taste of this
frozen concoction and Oprah wants to "dance on the
chandeliers!" The Queen of Daytime TV has named this one
of her "Favorite Things." This Serendipity frozen hot
chocolate secret recipe has finally been revealed after
50 years. The Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York City
