Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe

Jump to Recipe

This delicious frozen hot chocolate recipe will become a summer favorite!  Thick, creamy, chocolatey and oh so good!

We’ve had some amazing weather this summer and I’ve been enjoying every minute of it!  The only down side is that our house does not have air conditioning and pretty much turns into a sauna as soon as the warm weather hits. During the heat waves, it is not uncommon for our bedrooms to get up to 95 degrees and our main floor is not much better {thank goodness we have a basement that stays nice and cool!}

Frozen Hot Chocolate Drink

One of our favorite ways to cool down is with a nice cold drink and this frozen hot chocolate recipe is one of the most requested.  It’s rich, thick, and creamy, and the perfect way to refresh on a hot summer day!  Using a high quality chocolate {and to a certain extent hot chocolate powder} is definitely worth the splurge.  Especially if you’re a chocolate snob like me!
