FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE

Frozen Hot Chocolate is a refreshing summertime milkshake that’s more icy than creamy, with the rich flavors you love from a cup of hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream!

Many recipes just call for a blend of hot cocoa powder, milk and ice–boring!. Adding real melted chocolate makes a big difference! It also makes a difference to use a high quality brand of hot cocoa powder, over a generic store brand. You can even mix up the flavors (I love to use mint hot chocolate powder).  I think you’re going to love it!

Frozen hot chocolate is an icy beverage made with hot chocolate mix, melted chocolate and ice. The chocolate taste resembles the flavor you love from traditional hot chocolate, but it’s served more like a cold slushy.
