Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

2 cups milk (divided)
2 packets (4 tablespoons) hot cocoa mix (divided)

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
Whisk together 1 cup of the milk with 1 packet (2 tablespoons) of the hot chocolate mix.
Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray.
Freeze overnight or until the chocolate ice cubes are solid.
Gather the ingredients.
Put 1 packet (2 tablespoons) of the hot chocolate mix in a glass.
Slowly stir in the remaining cup of milk. Because this is a cold version of cocoa, it may take longer to dissolve all of the cocoa mix. Take your time and stir the drink until you see no more chunks of powder. It's best to add the milk in a slow, steady stream while stirring to avoid clumping.
When the mixture is smooth, add as many of the ice cubes as you prefer.
Enjoy.

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

6 fluid ounces milk
1/2 cup hot cocoa mix (or 2 packets...we use Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate flavor)
1 1/2-2 cups crushed ice cubes
whipped cream (optional)
additional hot cocoa mix (optional)

Steps:

Pour milk into blender.
Add hot cocoa mix and ice.
Blend first at low speed and then high speed until ice is finely crushed and slushy.
Pour into tall glass and top with whipped cream and a dusting of hot cocoa mix, if desired.
Serve with a straw and enjoy!
P.S. This recipe was originally posted using small ice cubes. At our shop we have a commercial blender that has no problem getting through these. Since most people have regular blenders, I have changed it to crushed ice.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your chilled hot chocolate will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overheat the milk: When heating the milk, be careful not to let it boil. Overheating the milk will make the chocolate taste grainy.
Use a whisk to combine the chocolate and milk: This will help to create a smooth and creamy mixture.
Chill the mixture thoroughly: Before serving, chill the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder: This will add a touch of elegance and make your chilled hot chocolate even more delicious.

Chilled hot chocolate is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make this delicious drink at home. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing drink, give chilled hot chocolate a try. You won't be disappointed!
