Why You NEED To Try This Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe:

Why Is It Called Frozen Hot Chocolate?

It's kind of funny that a drink could have both the words "frozen" and "hot" in its name. Like, how does that work?

Simply put, the reason why it's called frozen hot chocolate is that it contains both ice and a hot chocolate packet to create this delicious frozen treat.

Additionally, I add melted chocolate chips that have been mixed in with a little bit of milk to create an even more intense chocolate flavor. So in a way, you could say I do add "hot" chocolate to this recipe.

Ingredients Needed

Just 4 ingredients is all you need to make this recipe at home!

• Chocolate Chips: I used semi-sweet, but you can also use milk, dark, or white chocolate chips.
• Milk: Used to make the drink creamy. I used 2% milk.
• Hot Chocolate Packet: For double the chocolate flavor. I used one packet of Swiss Miss.
• Ice: This is what makes the drink frozen and slushy.
• Optional: Whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles are optional ingredients to add on top of your frozen drink.

How To Make Frozen Hot Chocolate

This recipe comes together in just under 10 minutes. Trust me when I say this is the BEST homemade frozen hot chocolate you'll ever have!

1. Mix: Melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl and whisk in ½ cup of the milk. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.

3. Pour: Pour into a glass, jar, or cup and serve with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles (optional).
