Frozen Hot Cocoa Recipe

Frozen Hot Cocoa

4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, in chips or broken into pieces (about 1/2 C)

2 tsp hot cocoa mix

1 1/2 T sugar

1 1/2 C milk

3 C ice

Whipped Cream (optional garnish)

Chocolate Shavings (optional garnish)

Melt the chocolate chips about 30 seconds in microwave, stir. If not melted all the way, about 20-30 seconds more and stir again until smooth. Add hot cocoa and sugar, and stir till smooth. Add 1/2 C milk slowly while stirring consistantly. Let sit until room temperature. Add remaining 1 C milk to blender, followed by the chocolate mixture, and then the ice. Mix until you have a consistancy similar to that of a strawberry daquiri. Makes about 4 8oz servings (about 3/4 full blender). Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
