In this Instructable, I will show you how to make frozen hot chocolate from scratch. Also known as iced hot chocolate or just iced chocolate, this chocolate drink recipe is so yummy and incredibly easy to make. Frozen Hot Chocolate is a famous dessert/drink from the restaurant Serendipity in New York City.

Supplies

Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe:

3 cups of ice, I like to use nugget or Sonic ice (708g)
1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (35g)
1/3 cup of milk powder (40g)
1/8th tsp of salt (less than 1g)
1/3 cup of white granulated sugar (67g)
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (2ml)
1 cup of milk (whole, 2%, skim, almond, etc.) (237ml)

Topping

Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings

Tools:

Whisk
Bowl
Blender
Glasses
Microplane zester for the chocolate

Step 1: Whisk Those Ingredients

Begin by adding the unsweetened cocoa powder, milk powder, salt, and granulated sugar to a medium bowl and whisk until combined.

Step 2: Blend It Up

Add your ice to a blender, then the milk, vanilla extract, and cocoa mixture. Blend well for 30 seconds or so. It will look like a chocolate smoothy by slightly runnier.

NOTE: I love to use nugget ice or sonic ice because it blends easier but normal ice or crushed ice will work too. I did a review on my nugget ice maker that I own if you want to check it out.

Step 3: Pour, Top, Serve

Now just pour it into a few glasses (3 or 4 servings) and add some whipped cream to the top if desired. I also like to add some chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream. Just run a piece of a chocolate bar across a zester to give you nice chocolate shavings.

Time to dig in! You can use a spoon or straw if you like. Enjoy!
