Description

Frozen Hot Chocolate is a rich, creamy, and refreshing frozen drink combining the warmth of hot cocoa flavors with the coolness of a blended ice beverage. This easy-to-make treat blends ice, milk, hot cocoa mix, and chocolate syrup into a smooth, indulgent drink topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle—perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings on a hot day.

Ingredients

Scale

Frozen Hot Chocolate Ingredients

  • 3½ cups ice
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy, whole milk recommended for creaminess)
  • 4 packets hot cocoa mix
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Extra chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Chill Glasses: Place your serving glasses in the freezer to chill while you prepare the frozen hot chocolate mixture. This keeps the drink colder for longer once served.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the ice, milk, hot cocoa mix, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure there are no large ice chunks remaining.
  3. Serve: Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and pour the frozen hot chocolate into them immediately to maintain its frosty texture.
  4. Top and Garnish: Generously top the drink with whipped cream. Drizzle extra chocolate syrup over the whipped cream if desired for an extra chocolatey touch.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw and spoon, allowing you to sip and scoop the delicious frozen hot chocolate.

Notes

  • For a smoother and creamier texture, use whole milk or coconut milk as the base.
  • If your blender struggles to blend the ice, pulse in short bursts and stir the mixture between pulses to ensure even blending.
  • Freeze your milk into ice cubes before blending to avoid a watery consistency in the finished drink.
  • Leftover Frozen Hot Chocolate can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 hours. If it solidifies too much, re-blend it with a splash of milk to restore the creamy texture.
