Make this quick, creamy frozen hot chocolate in under five minutes using only three basic ingredients. It is a refreshing, cold chocolate drink perfect for summer or a simple dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup instant hot chocolate mix
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
  • Optional topping: Whipped cream and chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Place the milk, instant hot chocolate mix, and ice cubes into a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, about 30 to 60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  3. Pour the mixture into a tall glass.
  4. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker, more decadent texture, reduce the amount of milk slightly or add one tablespoon of chocolate syrup.
  • You can use your favorite brand of hot chocolate mix; this recipe works well for a copycat Panera frozen hot chocolate experience.
  • This recipe makes one large serving or two smaller servings.
