Frozen Hot Chocolate
Description
Frozen Hot Chocolate starts by melting chopped chocolate either in a double boiler or microwave. The melted chocolate is combined with hot chocolate powder and sugar, then blended smoothly with a portion of milk. The rest of the milk and ice are added to a blender to create a rich and frosty beverage. The blending produces a smooth, thick texture, similar to a milkshake but with intense chocolate flavor. The final touch is a generous serving of whipped cream and chocolate shavings, which adds creaminess and a contrasting texture.
The recipe balances the deep melted chocolate flavor with the powder and sweetness. Using ice or frozen milk cubes can adjust richness, making the drink creamy but refreshing. This beverage serves as a cold dessert or a special chocolate treat when a hot drink isn’t desired.
Ingredients
- 5 oz chocolate we like Marabou from Ikea and/or a few different kinds of Ghiradelli
- 2 tsp. hot chocolate powder mix I like to use Stephens-brand hot chocolate mix
- 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 c. milk
- 3 c. ice to make it a little more rich, use frozen milk cubes
- Whipped Cream for serving
- chocolate for serving, shavings
Instructions
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Melt in a double boiler or by microwaving for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each time, until fully melted.
- Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar to the melted chocolate. Stir until blended.
- Slowly add half a cup of the milk, and stir until smooth.
- In a blender, place the remaining cup of milk, the chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth.
