Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe
A few weeks ago I was in NYC for literally less than 24 hours and one of the only things I was able to squeeze in other than what I was there for was a visit to Serendipity for one of my favorite treats…..the Frozen Hot Chocolate. It is massive, chocolaty and perfectly ice-y.
When I got back home I told the boys all about the treat I had and said I would re-create our own version! So…..I got to work 🙂
How to Make Frozen Hot Chocolate
Here is your line up. Please add one more hot chocolate to the picture. I ended up using 5 packets. Use your favorite brand of hot chocolate mix. I used the Trader Joe’s brand of cocoa. This literally takes 5 minutes to make, not kidding.
I had my little guy hop on the counter and help whip the cream and sugar. Whip it until perfectly creamy.
Like so 🙂
Let’s start with the milk. Pour it right into the blender. PS…..LOVE my Blendtec!
Cocoa time!
Give it a good blend!
Add the ice and crush it up!
I found the perfect consistency and was in love 🙂
See those little ice crystals?! Those are the best part.
Time for the sweet cream and chocolate!
I used mini chocolate chips, but you can used shaved chocolate that looks more authentic to the original 🙂
Ahhhh, wait until you try this! Love!
A few boys I know enjoyed the treat 🙂
It was so fun bringing a little bit of NYC to my stinkers 🙂
