Hi Guys!  This is Racquel.  If you’ve been following my posts here on Sweet Pennies from Heaven, you have more than likely figured out that Jenni and I both have a frappe addiction, right?  Today I have something to share that is just as delicious as our favorite frappe recipes on the blog and a ton of fun.  Frozen Hot Chocolate is one of my kids’ favorite treats and it’s a great alternative to a coffee drink for me!

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup hot chocolate – you can use a mix or homemade
  • 1/2 cup milk – or a flavored coffee creamer is great too
  • 1 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • blender

You may also want whipped topping and additional chocolate syrup for topping the drink.

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Instructions:

Make hot chocolate according to package instructions or recipe.  Allow hot chocolate to cool completely.  Pour the hot chocolate into an ice cube tray and freeze.

When the hot chocolate ice cubes are completely frozen transfer them to your blender.

Add the milk and chocolate syrup to the ice cubes.  I like to use flavored coffee creamer such as peppermint mocha.  You can also use a milk substitute like almond or coconut milk.

Blend on high until the ice is crushed and the drink is smooth.

Top with whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Mocha Frappe Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups cold coffee
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/8 – 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (start with less, add more if needed)
  • 1/8 – 1/4 cup sugar (start with less, add more if needed)

 

Directions:

Freeze the coffee in ice cube trays. If you simply can’t wait till the iced coffee cubes are frozen, you can use the coffee but add ice cubes to blender. But make sure to freeze coffee this time around and always have frozen coffee on hand, for a quick fix.

That step saves SO much time because you have to wait on the coffee to cool.

Once frozen, add everything to a blender and blend till smooth. Yes, really…that’s all there is to it!  Make sure to look below for variations!! This makes enough that you should be able to share. Unless you’re like me, and guzzle it straight down from the blender. Teehehehe.
