Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup instant hot cocoa mix
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Chocolate syrup or curls, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the milk, instant hot cocoa mix, and ice cubes into a blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick. This usually takes less than one minute.
  3. Pour the blended frozen hot chocolate into serving glasses.
  4. Top each serving with whipped cream and chocolate curls or syrup, if desired.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker, more decadent drink, substitute 1/4 cup of the milk with chocolate fudge sauce.
  • If you want a copycat Panera frozen hot chocolate texture, use a high-powered blender and blend until very smooth.
  • This recipe is kid friendly and works well as a quick summer treat.
