Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe
Description
Frozen Hot Chocolate starts by gently melting dark chocolate with sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant coffee, and milk over medium heat to create a smooth chocolate base. This warm mixture is then cooled slightly before combining with additional cold milk, vanilla extract, and ice in a blender. Blending produces a frosty, smooth drink that retains the intensity of dark chocolate flavor combined with subtle coffee notes.
The texture is creamy and thick from the blended ice, balancing sweetness and slight bitterness from dark chocolate. Garnishing with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or other toppings adds layers of richness and presentation appeal.
This chilled chocolate drink is best served immediately to preserve the icy texture and fresh flavors, making it a refreshing alternative to traditional hot chocolate when a cold dessert beverage is desired.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces dark chocolate broken into pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk whole
- 4 cups ice
- Whipped Cream chocolate sauce, hot fudge, shaved chocolate curls, chopped nuts, caramel sauce, sprinkles, possible garnish
Instructions
- Place the chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and 1 cup milk in a small sauce pot. Warm over medium heat and stir until the chocolate has melted into the milk. Once smooth, remove from heat. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a blender. Add the remaining milk to the blender, along with the vanilla extract and ice. Cover and blend until very smooth.
- Pour into glasses and add whipped cream and garnishes if desired!
Notes
- Serve Frozen Hot Chocolate immediately after blending to maintain optimal texture and chill.
