This is the frozen hot chocolate recipe you’ll crave all summer

If you like hot chocolate you’re going to LOVE my Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe. This rich and creamy shake is delicious as an afternoon snack or as a whimsical dessert at a dinner party! Make it using my homemade hot chocolate recipe for a perfectly indulgent treat. Add this to your list of chocolate frozen treats to make this summer and beyond.

Remember when Oprah included frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity as one of her favorite things? That’s the first time I had ever heard of such a thing and I’ve been obsessed with the idea ever since.

It wasn’t until I made my homemade hot chocolate that I realized I could turn that recipe into a frozen version. I’m sharing it here and I’ll tell you it’s one indulgence you don’t want to miss out on.

Upgrade the milkshake with this homemade frozen hot chocolate with ice cream

This frozen hot chocolate shake is the bonus you get when you make my hot chocolate recipe, linked below. Since the hot recipe makes a large batch you can easily have enough left over to make this frozen version. 

The result is a rich, creamy, shake-like drink that’s good enough to call dessert! Make it with either chocolate or vanilla ice cream and serve with marshmallows and whipped cream on top. 

Frozen hot chocolate vs Milkshake

What’s the difference in this frozen hot chocolate and a regular milkshake you might ask. Well for starters, a classic milkshake is made with milk and ice cream and maybe an additional flavoring. It’s good, no doubt. But we can do better.

This frozen chocolate shake however, is full of ingredients that have already been pre-mixed into hot chocolate. When you combine it with ice cream you’ll get so much more flavor than in a regular milkshake. It will be creamier and richer than you can imagine!

Make it with chocolate ice cream to intensify the flavor even more. Or use vanilla or coffee flavor ice cream to give it a different twist.

How to make Frozen Hot Chocolate

It’s simple to make this frozen dessert because you will be incorporating the homemade hot chocolate recipe you’ve already made ahead.

Once the hot chocolate has been chilled just add it to a blender along with the ice cream and blend on low speed until mixed. Garnish it with whipped cream and marshmallows to emulate the hot version, and enjoy.
