Instructions

- Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate shaving/sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
- Milk: I know a lot of frozen hot chocolate recipes “out there” call for regular milk, but I’ve found over the years as I’ve made more frozen hot chocolate than I care to admit that using chocolate milk is just straight up delicious. My favorite chocolate milk is the Silk brand dark chocolate almond milk, but you could use any brand you prefer OR use white milk for a less chocolatey version.
- Hot Chocolate: this recipe is highly adaptable to many different flavors and brands of hot chocolate. The results will be a little different (flavor/texture/sweetness/etc) depending what brand of dry hot chocolate mix you use. I’ve used Stephens brand, Thrive/Shelf-Reliance brand, this homemade hot chocolate mix, and several others I’m probably forgetting. My favorite is probably the Ghirardelli hot cocoa mix. I hate to say it, but the frozen hot chocolate made with the homemade version was probably my least favorite taste- and texture-wise (although it’s my favorite blend for actual hot chocolate).
- Ice: I have a Vitamix, so it chomps through ice no problem. If you have a high-powered blender, I think using ice cubes will be just fine. If you are using a lower powered blender, you might want to use crushed ice, if possible, to get that smooth consistency.
