Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Milk (any kind works)
- 1/2 cup Hot Cocoa Mix (use your favorite brand)
- 1 1/2 cups Ice Cubes
- Whipped cream and chocolate curls for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Gather your three main ingredients: milk, hot cocoa mix, and ice.
- Place the milk, hot cocoa mix, and ice cubes into your blender.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, resembling a frosty shake. This usually takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Pour the creamy frozen hot chocolate immediately into tall glasses.
- Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate curls, if you are using them. Serve right away.
Notes
- For an extra rich, copycat Panera-style treat, add one tablespoon of chocolate fudge sauce to the blender before mixing.
- If your mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again briefly. If it is too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
- This recipe is kid-friendly and makes a fantastic, quick dessert for movie nights or hot afternoons.
