Frrrrrozen Hot Chocolate!

I was watching the FoodNetwork a few weeks ago and a Frozen Hot Chocolate dessert caught my eye. It was from the Serendipity 3 Restaurant in New York and I just had to try it.

I searched for a recipe and did find several but decided to just wing it. It's an easy dessert to make and exact measurements are not necessary.

Frozen Hot Chocolate
Recipe developed in the kitchen of Big-Black-Dog

2 large frozen desserts

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 TBL powdered sweet chocolate **See Note
2 c. milk
5 c. ice cubes
Whipped cream
Chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips

Heat 1 c. of milk in the microwave. Put chocolate chips in a small bowl and add the hot milk. When the chocolate chips are completely melted, add the powdered sweet chocolate and remaining milk and thoroughly mix. Cool to room temperature.

It's best to make this in 2 batches because 5 c. of ice is too much for most blenders. Put about 2 1/2 c. of ice cubes in a blender and add 1/2 the chocolate mixture. Blend until smooth. Pour into a large goblet or bowl and garnish with whipped cream sprinkled with chocolate shavings.

Note: I used Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate.



July is National Ice Cream Month and Nikki of Nik Snacks is hosting an Ice Cream You Scream Blog event and my Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is my entry.
