Frozen Hot Chocolate Is An Icy Twist On A Hot Drink

We understand if you had to reread the headline. Yes frozen hot chocolate beverages are very real and very delicious. All you need to make this icy twist on a hot drink at home is ice, milk, powdered hot chocolate mix, and a blender. While 3 cups of ice, 2 cups of milk, and 3 hot cocoa packets are dependable proportions, you can always change things up to match your own preferences. Simply place all three into a blender and blend until it's reached the perfect smooth consistency.

While this frozen treat is certainly still yummy melted, it is best enjoyed immediately after it is blended. Because it is not a milkshake, frozen hot chocolate is perfectly thin and easy to drink through a straw. It's easy to customize, too. For instance, if you already know you enjoy going the extra mile with chocolate, using chocolate milk instead of regular milk is sure to deliver. In the spirit of making your frozen hot chocolate perfect for your own tastes, there are many other simple twists and toppings used to level up hot chocolate that could enhance this frozen version even more.

There is seemingly no limit to toppings and ingredients that will not only elevate the flavor of the frozen hot chocolate, but also its appearance. By topping this beverage with whipped cream, then sprinkling some chocolate curls or chips on top, the beverage will stand out with its enhanced appearance and also bring some welcome textural changes. You can also mix it up with the different types of chocolate you use in order to cultivate the perfect richness, flavor, and visual appeal.

If you are seeking a themed beverage to enjoy beside a campfire, try your hand at a s'mores frozen hot chocolate. A whipped cream topping with graham cracker sprinkles enhanced by dressing the sides of the cup itself with chocolate fudge and two ingredient marshmallow fluff is sure to do the trick. While such a beverage is most refreshing during the hotter months of the year, it is worth taking a page from the book of ice cream fans and enjoying year-round.
