    EASY FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE

    What is frozen hot chocolate? Think your favorite chocolate drink, but with an icy, refreshing twist to it.

    This recipe for frozen hot chocolate is easy, quick and is so yummy! In fact, it is one of the most popular posts on here--it's been tried and pinned by thousands of people who want a yummy and unique drink recipe.

    Serendipity (which is one of our favorite cheap places to eat in New York City) made this frozen hot cocoa popular.   My daughter and I loved it on our NYC Christmas trip.

    However, you don't have to go to NYC to enjoy this tasty frozen chocolate drink.

    You can make it in your own kitchen with just a few ingredients! It's a great option for Christmas hot chocolate or a hot chocolate party.

    FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE INGREDIENTS

    To make this hot cocoa drink that's good any time during the year, all you'll need is:

    • your favorite hot cocoa mix (or try this easy 4-ingredient homemade hot cocoa mix recipe here)
    • ice- it doesn't matter if it's cubed or crushed since you'll be using a blender
    • milk (I use almond milk)
    • blender (I use and love this one!)
    • whip cream or Reddi-wip, optional
    • striped straw or candy cane for extra festiveness
    • Get Serendipity Frozen hot chocolate mix here. 

    HOW TO MAKE FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE

    Just 3 quick steps to make this fun drink!

    Step 1

    Pull out your best blender and add in the milk, cocoa mix, and ice. Turn the blender on high and let it chop up the ice well.

    Depending on your blender, you may need to stop and give the ice a good stir so that it becomes well-mixed. You don't want big chunks of ice in your drink!

    Step 2

    Once the mixture has become well blended (without any big ice chunks), pour the icy, frozen chocolate into glasses or mugs. I'd recommend using clear cups or glasses since you want to show off your hard work. (Haha!)

    If you plan to serve them at a party, use disposable plastic cups to serve so that your guests can toss them when done.

    Step 3

    Just before serving the chocolate drink, top with Reddi-wip or another spray whip cream.  For a festive hot chocolate slushie, add a paper straw or candy cane just before serving.

    This Frrrozen hot chocolate recipe will quickly become a favorite drink!

        How big of a group do you need to make this for? You can definitely make a huge batch in a blender by adding ingredients per serving you want. I'm happy to give more specifics!
