Rich, creamy frozen hot chocolate made in 5 minutes! Perfect for summer or winter indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 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.
