Frozen Hot Chocolate Day

Wednesday, July 27, 2011 0 Comments

 ok so the kids were driving me crazy they wanted hot chocolate…its too hot for hot chocolate so we did…

Frozen Hot Chocolate

ingredients

  • 3 ounces best-quality chocolate (or a variety of your favorites)
  • 2 teaspoons store bought hot chocolate mix (recommended: Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate Mix)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 cups ice
  • Whipped cream, for garnish
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

directions

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a small heavy saucepan or in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until blended.
Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk, stirring until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
In a blender, place the remaining 1 cup of milk, the chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cram and chocolate shavings.

I first got the idea from The Cornerstone Coffee shop. They do one similar to this but of course mine is less on calorie count. I only added whip cream for the photographs. I don't usually put whip cream on it. But it is yummy!!!!


Green Tea Fruit Smoothie

1 1/2 c hot green tea of your choice *i use Good Earth*
1/2 c coconut water *i use Vita Coco www.vitacoco.com
1-2 Tbsp Agave nectar or to taste
1 12oz bag of frozen fruit of your choice
i use fresh fruit too

Add all ingredients to blender, blend well on high, until smooth. If the mixture is too thick add more coconut water. Pour into glasses and enjoy!!
