A very sweet start to Guinness World Records week in the US as Serendipity 3, the landmark NYC restaurant, prepares to set a new Guinness World Record for the “Largest Cup of Hot Chocolate on Monday, November 9th. The record attempt also celebrates the restaurants 55th anniversary, a milestone for New York City eateries.
 

The restaurant has been busy planning to scale up the tasty concoction which will use their  traditional hot chocolate mix- a blend of 14 different cocoas, topped with whipped cream, grated valley orange and French chocolate shavings. 

The “largest cup” is over 100 times the size of the restaurant’s famous Hot Chocolate!  The “Largest Cup of Hot Chocolate” will then go on the restaurants menu becoming commercially available, and all proceeds will go to a local NYC charity.

The record will not be the restaurants first attempt at Guinness World Record glory. The restaurant currently holds the record for the ‘Most Expensive Dessert’ ($25,000) set back in 2007 also in conjunction with Guinness World Records Day. In addition, at one time the restaurant held the record for the ‘Largest Wedding Cake.’

The record attempt itself will take place in the world famous restaurant on East 60th Street in NYC.  Stephen Bruce, the owner/founder of the restaurant will be mixing up the giant creation himself!
