Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Hot Chocolate
- 3½ cups ice
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 4 packets hot cocoa mix
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
- Chill Glasses: Place your serving glasses in the freezer to chill them while you prepare the drink. This will keep your Frozen Hot Chocolate cold longer and add a frosty touch to the presentation.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the ice, milk, hot cocoa mix, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth, thick, and creamy without any ice chunks.
- Serve: Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and carefully pour the frozen hot chocolate mixture into each glass.
- Add Toppings: Generously top each glass with whipped cream. If desired, drizzle extra chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon to savor every bit of this decadent, icy chocolate treat.
Notes
- For a smoother texture and extra creaminess, use whole milk or coconut milk.
- If your blender has difficulty crushing the ice, pulse in short bursts and stir the mixture between pulses to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Freezing the milk into ice cubes before blending can help prevent the drink from becoming watery.
- Store leftover Frozen Hot Chocolate in the freezer for up to 2 hours. Re-blend with a splash of milk if it becomes too hard before serving again.
