Easy 3-Ingredient Frozen Hot Chocolate
Description
The recipe combines chocolate milk, a dry hot chocolate mix of choice, and ice blended until smooth. The order of ingredients allows for effective mixing and texture. The cold drink balances the sweetness and cocoa flavor from the chocolate milk and mix with the icy chill for a satisfying frozen treat.
Optional toppings like whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles enhance the presentation and add extra chocolate flavor and creaminess.
The choice of chocolate milk and hot chocolate brand affects the final sweetness, flavor, and texture. Using chocolate milk rather than white milk intensifies the chocolate character, and ice cube size may influence blending smoothness depending on blender power.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate milk
- 1 cup dry hot chocolate mix flavor and brand of choice
- 3-4 cups ice cubed (see note
- Whipped Cream for garnish, if desired, or chocolate shavings
- chocolate sprinkles for garnish, if desired, or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Add the milk, hot chocolate mix and ice, in the order listed, to a blender and process until smooth.
- Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate shaving/sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
- Using chocolate milk, such as Silk dark chocolate almond milk, intensifies the chocolate flavor compared to regular milk.
- Different hot chocolate mixes create slight variations in taste, sweetness, and texture; Ghirardelli brand is a preferred option.
- If using a lower powered blender, crushed ice may yield a smoother consistency than cubed ice.
