Description

Frozen Hot Chocolate is a deliciously creamy and icy treat perfect for hot days or whenever you crave a rich chocolatey beverage. This easy-to-make drink blends hot cocoa mix, milk, ice, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract into a smooth, frosty delight topped with whipped cream and extra chocolate drizzle, combining the warmth of hot cocoa with the refreshing chill of a frozen dessert.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Serve: Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and carefully pour the frozen hot chocolate mixture into each glass.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
