Recipe Yield: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup hot cocoa mix
1 1/4 cups whole milk (or preferred type)
3 cups ice cubes
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Blend ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine hot cocoa mix, milk, ice cubes, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until thick, smooth, and creamy.
2. Adjust consistency: If too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again. If too thin, add more ice and blend until it reaches the perfect frosty texture.
3. Serve and garnish: Pour the frozen hot chocolate into two glasses. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for an indulgent finish.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use High-Quality Hot Cocoa Mix: A rich hot chocolate mix makes all the difference. Choose a premium blend or a dark cocoa version for a deeper, more indulgent taste.
- Blend Quickly for the Best Texture: For that smooth, creamy consistency, blend everything on high speed for 30-45 seconds. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add more ice cubes.
- Add a Chocolate Boost for Extra Flavor: Want a more intense chocolate kick? Melt 2 tbsp of chocolate chips and blend them in for a thicker, creamier texture and richer taste.
