Recently, we had a night at home. We weren’t going anywhere and were all nice and warm in our warm house so I decided to to give this recipe a try. I found it on My Kitchen Cafe. She adapted the recipe from epicurious.com. This recipe was a winner. I am definitely going to make this in the summer too. This is a nice and different frozen drink. I did this in the microwave, but I think it would work a little better on the stove top.
Frozen Hot Chocolate
4 ounces of your favorite chocolate (I used semi-sweet chocolate)
2 teaspoons store-bought hot chocolate powder (I used milk chocolate powder)
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups ice cube
slightly sweetened whipped cream
chocolate shavings (optional)
Chop chocolate into small pieces and melt in microwave on low heat. Once melted, add hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Slowly add 1/2 cup milk, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature. In blender, place the remaining 1 cup milk, room-temperature chocolate mixture and ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Enjoy! (This recipe made a large blender full – I got around 4 (8 oz.) servings from one batch.)
Just seeing your post makes me remember how good it is – I think I’ll make it tonight for New Year’s Eve.
