How to make frozen hot chocolate

“Whitney: Hi everybody. I’m Whitney Magness. I am the Housewares Buyer for Zappos.com, and today we’re going to make frozen hot chocolate. Okay. So, the ingredients that you need to make frozen hot chocolate are: 3 ounces of chocolate. You can use semisweet, sweet chocolate chips. 2 teaspoons of hot chocolate mix, 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 3 cups of ice, whipped cream for garnish, and chocolate shavings for garnish. First thing you want to do is take your 3 ounces of chocolate and melt them. We actually just put them in the microwave and melted them ourselves. Do that–once you get it nice and melted you want to dump your 2 teaspoons of hot chocolate mix and 1/2 tablespoons of sugar into your chocolate. Mix it together. [Music] Make sure everything is dissolved together so you get a great mixture. Once you’ve done that, you’re going to add 1/2 cup of milk and stir until it’s smooth. [Music] Once you have everything mixed all together, you’re going to take your blender–in this case we’re using our Breville blender. And you’re going to place the remaining 1 cup of milk inside the blender. [Music] You’re going to add your chocolate mixture. And then you’re going to add 3 cups of ice. [Music] Okay. And then you put your lid on, make sure everything’s tight. You turn it on first. And then you have 5 different options. So we’re going to actually do the smoothie function and make it into a smoothie. [Noises from blender making the smoothie] All right! So, there is your frozen hot chocolate. And I like to top it off with whipped cream. [Music] There we go! Frozen hot chocolate. [Music]”
