- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or chips (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar to the melted chocolate. Stir well until fully combined.

Step 5
Once cooled, transfer the chocolate base to a blender.
Step 6
Add the remaining 1 cup of milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes to the blender.
Step 7
Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy. Adjust the texture by adding more ice or milk as needed.

Pour the frozen hot chocolate into two serving glasses.
Step 9
Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chips for garnish.
Step 10
