Frozen Hot Chocolate
I based this recipe on Hershey's Chocolate Hot Chocolate Recipe only since I was adding ice, some of the milk portion would be water. So I added some heavy cream for, what else? Creaminess. If you make the entire thing with half and half or heavy cream, it will be even richer and creamier. Sort of like a milk shake. If you don't like using cream, just use all milk and know it won't be as creamy or rich.
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
1/2 cup (118 ml) milk
1/4 cup (59 ml) heavy cream - or double cream, or half and half
3-4 teaspoons Unsweetened Cocoa powder - I used Hershey's - depending on your taste
2-3 or 4 Tablespoons sugar, depending on your taste
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract - If you don't have this, just omit it.
1 cup ice cubes (about a handful)
Whipped cream and sprinkles for topping - optional
Directions
Add the milk, heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa, sugar, vanilla and ice to a blender. Let it blend on high for about 2 minutes until the ice cubes have blended well. Taste it and see if it needs more sugar or cocoa for your taste. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired. Drink immediately.
