A yearly tradition for us is a Christmas in July party. It’s perfect for the summer holidays. And nothing tastes better than a cool, refreshing frozen hot chocolate when the temperatures start to rise! My kids love to help me make these. They love to drink them even more!
What is frozen hot chocolate?
Frozen hot chocolate is a bit different from a milkshake because you add powdered hot chocolate to it. It has the taste of hot chocolate but the ice cream gives it an icy richness.
How to make frozen hot chocolate
-
Pour some chocolate sauce along the insides of your glasses. (This recipe makes 2 large drinks or 4 smaller ones, depending on your appetites). We use either a couple squeezes Hershey’s chocolate syrup or a big spoonful of Belgian chocolate sauce for ice cream. This will make your glass look really nice and adds an extra chocolate kick!
-
In a blender, combine chocolate ice cream, milk and hot chocolate mix. We like OPtions Belgian hot choc instant mix. It comes in serving size sachets. Otherwise use 4 teaspoons of your favourite instant hot chocolate mix.
-
Pour into glasses. Easy!
-
Swirl on top some whipped cream. Then add a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder. Finally, sprinkle with some chocolate chips.
- Enjoy!
