Frozen Hot Chocolate? 

Say what? Frozen hot chocolate? Isn’t that a little ironic? Keep reading, because you are in for a treat.

Frozen hot chocolate has all the deliciousness of hot cocoa, but with an icy, refreshing twist to it.

If I remember right, the cute little Serendipity restaurant in NYC made frozen hot chocolate ever so popular. If you search for frozen hot chocolate recipes, you’ll find them indeed. While you may find a good copycat recipe like this one from Smitten, I’m all about simple here on So Festive! And that’s why you are going to love my version of frozen hot chocolate.

What makes this recipe so “cool?” Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

• You can make this icy drink in less than 5 minutes.

What you need to make frozen hot chocolate

To make this refreshing drink that’s good any time during the year, all you’ll need is:

• your favorite hot cocoa mix (or try this easy homemade hot cocoa mix recipe here)
• ice
• milk (or almond milk)
• blender (I use and love this one!)

• striped straw or candy cane for extra festiveness

This icy goodness will take less than 5 minutes to make, which is perfect when you need a quick treat or party drink. In fact, I served these at our  Christmas in July party and they were a hit!
