Frozen Hot Chocolate
Main Ingredients: Chocolate, Hot Cocoa Mix, Sugar, Milk, Whipped Cream
Who says hot chocolate has to be hot? This frozen hot chocolate recipe is perfect for those warmer days when you still want to enjoy a delicious chocolatey treat. Cool and creamy!
Ingredients:
• 2 cups of whole milk
• 4 ounces of dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
• Pinch of salt
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
To begin, heat 1 1/2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat. While the milk is heating, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl.

Keep the hot chocolate on medium heat and continue to whisk until it thickens to your desired consistency. This can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Once it has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before pouring into your favorite mug.
For an extra indulgent touch, top your hot chocolate with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. The contrast of the rich and creamy hot chocolate with the light and fluffy whipped cream is simply heavenly.
