Frozen Hot Cocoa
Frozen hot cocoa is just about the yummiest oxymoron out there. When the temps begin to drop we set up a hot cocoa station that stays out until February. Nothing beats a warm cup of cocoa—but there is just something about this frosty cup that makes it a special winter treat, too!
It’s as simple as 3 ingredients.
Frozen Hot Chocolate Ingredients
- 1 c. milk
- 1 1/2 c. ice
- 1 packet (or 3 heaping Tablespoons) hot cocoa mix
- whipped cream (optional)
- cocoa powder (optional)
Combine ice, milk and hot cocoa mix into a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a mug and add a large dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with cocoa powder for dusting.
Hot Cocoa Add-Ins
Have fun customizing your cocoa! You can add a spoonful of peanut butter into the blender, mini chocolate chips, or even crushed candy canes on top! Enjoy in the summer or winter!
Note: You can use 3 heaping tablespoons of hot cocoa mix (if you have a canister instead of packets)

Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!

I love hot chocolate so much in the winter. I try to make it with the kids at least 1-2 nights per week. Never thought about going the frozen route. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will need to give it a try.

Dang, this is utterly AMAZING! Made this for my family, and they all loved it! This has earned my approval and is hands-down one of the best recipes I’ve ever tasted for Hot Cocoa-Frozen and Unfrozen.
I love this recipe.
For chocolate lovers, I added 2 packets of hot cocoa mix instead of 1 and it came out perfect.
Great suggestion!!
