The Best Frozen Hot Chocolate
Rich, creamy frozen hot chocolate made in 5 minutes! Perfect for summer or winter indulgence.
Ingredients
- 3½ cups ice
- 2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- 4 packets hot cocoa mix
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping
- Extra chocolate syrup optional, for drizzle
Tip: Use whole milk for extra creaminess, or almond/oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Instructions
Step 1: Chill Your Glasses
- For that frosty, café-style effect, place your serving glasses in the freezer while you prepare the drink. This helps keep your frozen hot chocolate nice and cold.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a high-powered blender, combine:
- 3½ cups of ice
- 2 cups of milk
- 4 hot cocoa mix packets
- 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- Blend on high until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pro tip: If your blender struggles with the ice, pulse in short bursts and stir in between.
Step 3: Serve
- Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and pour in the frozen hot chocolate mixture.
- Top generously with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
- Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon—because it’s too good not to scoop every last bit.
