Ingredients
- For the frozen hot chocolate:
-
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate for a sweeter version)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
- A pinch of salt (optional, to enhance the chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the milk mixture is warm (but not boiling). Add the cocoa powder and chocolate chips, stirring constantly until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cool the mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using). Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it for about 20-30 minutes for a quicker cool down.
- Blend the frozen hot chocolate: Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, pour it into a blender. Add the ice and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, with a thick, frosty texture.
- Serve: Pour the frozen hot chocolate into large glasses, and top with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings or drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness of Serendipity 3’s Frozen Hot Chocolate!
