Decadent Non-Watered Down Frozen Hot Chocolate
Or a cold hot chocolate with many adjectives
- It got hot.
- I ordered a couple frozen hot chocolates from different cafes
- Both tasted watered down
- So this weekend I looked up frozen hot chocolate recipes
- They all required milk, hot chocolate packets, chocolate chips, and ice
- The ice, the ice is where the recipes must get watered down
- So, I was determined to make a frozen hot chocolate that didn't lose any flavor
- And here it is, my decadent non watered down frozen hot chocolate.
- The night before or right now while reading this,
- Put non-fat milk into a ice cube tray and let it freeze
- I chose non-fat because freezing milk can be tricky
- and since non-fat milk is mostly water I thought it would be the easiest to work with.
- To get the cubes out use a table knife to apply pressure to a longer edge.
- and check out this helpful video.
- Put these back in the freezer for now.
- Just to keep them cold til your ready to use them.
- Gather together, 1/2 cup of milk, and handful of chocolate chips, vanilla, and hot chocolate packet.
- (full list of all ingredients at bottom)
- Heat milk on the stove til boiling.
- Lower heat.
- Add hot chocolate packet and stir
- Heat chocolate chips in microwave til melted (2 bouts of 15 seconds)
- And stir.
- Add melted chocolate to pan on low heat.
- Whisk together.
- Add a touch of vanilla.
- Add cooled chocolate mixture from sauce pan and remaining cubes
- Blend again
- Pour and serve to a deserving helper or guest. Or just you.
- Full ingredients:
Makes enough for two to enjoy
