Frozen Hot Chocolate
Description
Frozen Hot Chocolate is a blended beverage made by mixing milk of choice with cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Optional peanut butter adds a smooth creaminess and nutty depth. Ice cubes are pulverized in a high-speed blender, resulting in a cold, slushy consistency without chunks of ice. The blend can be adjusted by increasing the cacao powder for a darker chocolate taste or adding more peanut butter for richness.
Serving it right after blending preserves the creamy texture and icy freshness. For a decorative touch, whipped cream and chocolate shavings can be added on top. The recipe notes that nutrition information applies to half a batch using almond milk and no toppings.
Leftover portions can be refrozen into ice pops for a different frozen dessert experience. This recipe is flexible for various milk types and flavor customizations.

- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
