Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or chips (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar to the melted chocolate. Stir well until fully combined.
Slowly pour in 1/2 a cup of milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth chocolate base. Heat gently for about 1-2 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the chocolate base to a blender.
Add the remaining 1 cup of milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy. Adjust the texture by adding more ice or milk as needed.
Pour the frozen hot chocolate into two serving glasses.
Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chips for garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
