I have been drinking hot chocolate for as long as I can recall and just because the calendar says its summer, I'm not giving up my my morning beverage of choice. I will however cool things down a little when the temperatures sky rocket- as they have been.
So for all of you who thought hot chocolate was just a cold weather beverage .. try this:
Ingredients:
Frozen Hot Chocolate
• 6 pieces (1/2-ounce) chocolate , a variety of your favorites
• 2 teaspoons store-bought hot chocolate mix
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 cups ice
• Whipped cream
• Chocolate shavings
Directions:
Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Place it in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar. Stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and slowly add ½ cup of milk until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
In a blender, place the remaining cup of milk, the room-temperature chocolate mixture and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Additional garnish options; - cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate chips, - for the "Big Children" I have added a 1/4 cup of banana liqueur or amaretto, to give it a little kick (I reduce the remaining milk by 1/4 of a cup).

I love hot chocolate :-) Thanks for your supportive comment about my car. It's nothing compared to what you've been through (although I don't know exactly what that is, as I'm new here) and you are right, I have to keep it in perspective... it will be 'new' again soon. It was just upsetting because it was only a week old!
ReplyDeleteSerendipity3's frozen hot chocolate is to die for!!
ReplyDeleteWow, must definately try this one, huge choccy girl and this sounds absolutely amazing!!! Sharon xx
ReplyDeleteI could use one of those!
ReplyDeleteWe will have to go there next year! I tried to get in last year but it was packed and LP was sleeping in his stroller and they wouldn't let the stroller in etc...it was a mess!
ReplyDeleteI saw the mix in Chapters a couple of weeks ago!
Hot chocolate is one of my favorite winter drinks. I should drink more of it now as opposed to coffee. It is just a habit either way. We just cannot give up everything, can we.

My staff teases me about my hot chocolate habit. I like a cup of hot chocolate with a dash of coffee in the morning pretty much all year long. I am not much of a coffee drinker but I do like my hot chocolate flavored with it! Sometimes I will make it but put it in the freezer until it gets to a slushy consistency. YUM!
