Frozen Hot Chocolate

Description:
Frozen Hot Chocolate is a rich, creamy, and refreshing treat that tastes like a chilled version of your favorite winter drink. Made with melted chocolate, hot cocoa mix, milk, and ice, it’s blended to a frosty perfection and topped with whipped cream for a decadent finish. Perfect for hot days when you’re craving a cold twist on a classic.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)

• 1/2 cup high-quality semisweet or milk chocolate chips

• 2 tablespoons hot cocoa mix (regular or dark chocolate)

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

• 3 cups ice cubes

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Toppings (Optional):

• Whipped cream

• Chocolate shavings or sprinkles

• Mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Melt Chocolate:
   In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of the milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.

2. Cool Slightly:
   Let the melted chocolate mixture cool for about 5 minutes so it doesn’t melt the ice during blending.

3. Blend:
   In a blender, combine the remaining 3/4 cup milk, cocoa mix, sugar, vanilla (if using), ice cubes, and the cooled melted chocolate mixture. Blend on high until smooth and frosty.

4. Serve:
   Pour into tall glasses and top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or marshmallows, if desired.
