Description
A summer version of your hot chocolate to keep you cool! Video at bottom.
Tools: Strong blender or similar like Nutri-bullet
Ingredients
1. 90g Mexican hot chocolate (or 3 times the amount of chocolate mix you normally use)
2. 1 cup milk or milk alternative (250ml)
Optional:
-Top with whipped cream
-Add chocolate shavings
-Drizzle cajeta/dulce de leche/caramel sauce
-Blend with a shot of espresso
-Blend with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Part 1
- Make your Mexican hot chocolate but add 3 times more chocolate than normal.
- Place the chocolate in blender.
- Heat milk until it begins to simmer then pour over chocolate in blender. Let sit 30 seconds to melt chocolate.
- Blend until chocolate is well blended. About 30 seconds.
- Place the drink in a freezer safe container and freeze for 6 hours or several days.
Part 2
- Remove container from freezer, let it sit at room temperature for 1-3 minutes so it softens but does not melt. Using a fork, help break it into smaller pieces and place in blender. If you are using shot of espresso, pour it here. It is best if you pour a cold espresso shot instead of hot.
- Blend until creamy. You might need to stop the blender a few times to move the frozen mix around, about 2-6 times. This is ok. Don’t add any more liquid here.
- Pour into glass. If you are using caramel sauce, pour some caramel sauce in the glass first and also on top.
