Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (any kind works)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix (use your favorite brand)
- Whipped cream and chocolate curls for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Gather your three main ingredients: milk, ice, and hot cocoa mix.
- Place the milk, ice cubes, and hot cocoa mix into your blender.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, resembling a frosty shake. This should take about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Pour the creamy frozen hot chocolate immediately into your serving glasses.
- Top generously with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate curls, if desired, for the ultimate treat. Serve right away.
Notes
- For a richer, Panera-style copycat frozen hot chocolate, substitute 1/4 cup of the milk with 1/4 cup of chocolate milk or add one tablespoon of chocolate syrup before blending.
- If the mixture is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Use frozen milk cubes instead of regular ice for an even thicker, less watery result.
