OH. OH. OHHHH. I am still tingly from this liquid-chocolate-magical experience. Basically I just let Willy Wonka’s river flow right into my mouth! Before we jump into the treat frenzy, let’s learn a few foodie-nerd facts.

So, have you ever tried an egg cream soda? It’s an American classic! (You can usually find them in dinners). Funny enough, there’s no egg in the original recipe! Who knows why they named it that way. There is however, whole milk, along with chocolate syrup (usually hershey’s), and bubbly seltzer (club soda). It’s a frothy chocolate-y dense cold drink that is just sublime.

Since I cannot enjoy the virtues of dairy anymore (a.k.a. a sign of getting old!), I decided to give it a go with coconut milk instead of regular whole milk. I also made the chocolate syrup at home since that Hershey’s stuff is kinda obscure. The result was SO GOOD. It’s like a melted milkshake with fizz.

Mind you, it could be something odd to try for the first time since you expect a “chocolate milk” taste but then BAM! You get the bubbles right after. Now that the sun is coming out, you should definitely give it a go.

Alrighty, shall we let the chocolate rivers flow?
