Can I use regular milk instead of chocolate milk?

Yes, you can use regular milk and add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup or 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. The flavor won't be quite as rich, but it still makes a delicious treat.

My frozen hot chocolate seems too thin. How can I thicken it?

The easiest fix is to add more ice and blend again. If you want more chocolate flavor along with thickness, add a few chocolate ice cream scoops and reduce the milk slightly.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use your favorite chocolate plant-based milk and dairy-free whipped topping. Many hot chocolate mixes are already dairy-free, but check the ingredients to be sure.

Is this suitable for children's parties?

This is perfect for children's parties! You can even let kids customize their own toppings with colorful sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or crushed cookies. For a less sweet version, use unsweetened chocolate milk.

Instructions

Chill the Glasses
Place two glasses in the freezer for at least 5 minutes to chill. This helps keep your frozen hot chocolate colder for longer and gives it that frosty finish when you pour it in.
Blend the Mixture
In a blender, combine the chocolate milk, hot chocolate mix, and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no chunks of ice left for the perfect texture.
Serve and Garnish
Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and pour the frozen hot chocolate mixture into them. Top with generous swirls of whipped cream and sprinkle some chocolate chips on top for extra indulgence.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use whole chocolate milk instead of skim milk.
Want extra chocolatey goodness? Drizzle some chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring in the frozen hot chocolate!
You can substitute regular hot cocoa mix with a sugar-free version for a lighter option.
Use dark chocolate chips or even mini marshmallows for varied toppings.
