We use regular milk to make our frozen hot chocolate, but you can absolutely start with chocolate milk to boost the chocolaty flavor. Feel free to experiment with chocolate-flavored dairy-free milk alternatives too.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk, divided
- 5 ounces semisweet chocolate or chocolate of your choice, roughly chopped
- 4-1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 4 cups ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional: miniature marshmallows, chocolate sauce, whipped cream or sprinkles
Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, chocolate, cocoa and confectioners' sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat, until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth (do not boil), about 3 minutes.
- Transfer chocolate mixture to a blender. Add ice, vanilla and remaining 1 cup milk; cover and blend until smooth. Pour into glass. Garnish with toppings as desired.
