Decadent Frozen Hot Chocolate (that's not watered down)


Decadent Non-Watered Down Frozen Hot Chocolate
Decadent Frozen Hot Chocolate (that's not watered down)
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.
