Coconut Tres Leches Hot Chocolate

Sometimes inspiration hits, and this was one of those days. Better Homes and Gardens was running a recipe contest under the category "hot drinks" and this recipe just came to me. I ended up winning first place and $400, along with my recipe published in their November 2009 issue. This is a perfect holiday drink if you'd like something rich and chocolate.

Ingredients:
3 cups fat-free milk
1 14-oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 of a 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk (2/3-cup)
2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Sweetened whipped cream (optional)
1/4 cup chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions:
1. In medium saucepan combine fat-free milk, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Whisk in cocoa powder until well-combined.
2. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve in mugs topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Makes 5 (1-cup) servings.
