I have been asked to make Serendipity's frozen hot chocolate for a party. The recipe calls for "3 Godiva Flowers", both black and white. What are these, and about how much does each one weigh? I want to be as close to the original recipe as possible. Thanks!

I don't know. Is it perhaps a typo meaning Godiva flavors ?

I think that might be right. I Googled "serendipity frozen hot chocolate recipe" and everything I've found so far calls for a variety of different chocolates, but no "flowers" - of course, none of them mention Godiva either.

Example: the recipe as it exists on Oprah's website (it was the first hit).

No pictures I've found have any flowers of any kind, either.

I'm no authority on their frozen hot chocolate though. Any place that brags about having the world's most expensive dessert is way too bourgeois for me. :wink:

OK then. I have some really nice hot chocolate powder I bought in Stresa. Guess I could use that. Cool, add ice, and blend.

I haven't been to a Godiva shop for ages...but I recall seeing solid chocolate flowers, such as daisies--flower only, no stem there. Maybe 1/2 ounce each at most, about 1 1/2 inches across.

Yeah, I've seen them too but wasn't sure that's what the recipe was referring to. I'm not a great fan of Godiva...
