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 frozen hot cocoa that makes it a special winter treat, too!
It’s as simple as 3 ingredients.
Frozen Hot Cocoa REcipe
(scroll down for printable version)
Makes 1 serving
- 1 c. milk
- 1 1/2 cups ice
- 1 packet of your favorite hot cocoa mix (Stephen’s is one of our FAVORITE brands!)
- whipped cream
- 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.
Frozen hot cocoa is as fun to customize as hot 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)
