Frozen Hot Chocolate
December 6, 2012 in drink

Frozen hot chocolate has always confused me. I thought it was just a chocolate milkshake with a fancy name and I couldn’t figure out why everyone went crazy over them. So when Nicole and I decided on a chocolate theme for this week, I knew I had to make one.
It is so not just a chocolate milkshake! I used a salted caramel hot chocolate mix and it tasted just like a salted caramel hot chocolate… but frozen. Amazing how that works, right? I was so excited with how it turned out and it really couldn’t be easier. If you have hot chocolate mix and some milk, you can make this.
Nicole made a hot chocolate mix which would be perfect for this! Just use 1.25 ounces of the mix in place of the packaged one!

- Put 1/2 milk, hot chocolate mix, and ice in a blender. Blend until pretty smooth, adding more milk as needed. Pour into a glass. Top with whipped cream and use a microplane to shave some chocolate on top. Serve immediately.





Awesome photos Amanda! I have always wanted to try this, and your version looks absolutely amazing! I love the idea of using salted caramel hot chocolate mix…*drool*
I had a serious addiction to Dairy Queen frozen hot chocolate in college then they stopped making it. Well it’s back and I’m afraid to start my addiction again. Maybe I should just start with an at-home version :)
Oh man, I had frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity in Las Vegas last year and it was so, so good! I need to make some hot cocoa mix so I can try this!
Oh, this would be amazing with a salted caramel mix!
