What is Frozen Hot Cocoa?
It’s a wonderful blend of your favorite hot chocolate drink but in an icy cold form. Made to be thick, rich, and chocolatey it’s like a chocolate milkshake only better. The name comes from the fact that we use a hot cocoa drink mix packet to help bring in that wonderful flavor we crave every winter. Top your drink off with some whipped cream, crushed peppermint, or shaved chocolate for a wonderful drink in every glass.

Recipe Tips
You can use any brand of hot cocoa mix desired so make sure to use your favorite! Make sure that you actually use hot chocolate drink mix and not the unsweetened cocoa mix found in the pantry for baking as these are two completely different things (one is sweetened and the other is not).
I recommend making this drink when ready to serve as it is frozen and will not last long before it begins to melt. You may be able to stick it in the fridge or freezer for up to a few hours but it’s best to enjoy the drink as soon as possible after prepping it.
You can save any leftovers of this frozen cocoa in a container in the freezer and then when you want to enjoy a frosty drink later just add it to the blender and re-blend until smooth. It should be ready in no time flat but adding in just a little milk could help too.
