Description
A delicious and rich hot chocolate perfect for cold days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 oz chocolate (we like Marabou from Ikea and/or a few different kinds of Ghiradelli)
- 2 tsp hot chocolate powder mix (I like to use Stephens-brand hot chocolate mix)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 c milk
- 3 c ice (to make it a little more rich, use frozen milk cubes)
- to taste whipped cream (for serving)
- to taste chocolate shavings (for serving)
Instructions
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Melt in a double boiler or by microwaving for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each time, until fully melted.
- Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar to the melted chocolate. Stir until blended.
- Slowly add half a cup of the milk, and stir until smooth.
- In a blender, place the remaining cup of milk, the chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Pour into cup or mug and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using frozen milk cubes instead of regular ice.
