Recipe of the Month
Frozen Hot Chocolate
 
  • 3 ounces Tre Sorelle solid chocolate
  • 2 teaspoons hot chocolate mix (recommended: Bellagio Sipping Chocolate)
  • 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 cream and chocolate shavings.
