Frozen Hot Chocolate Drink Ultimate Summer Treat

Frozen Hot Chocolate Drink – Ultimate Summer Treat

While a hot chocolate warms you in winter a frozen hot chocolate has a amazing cooling effect in summer. This drink takes barely 5 minutes to make with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. The ultimate treat to a hot summer day.

We have really hot summers in Israel so this is truly the ultimate summer treat. And I don’t even bother to feel guilty cause it’s so HOT!!  Well, it’s mot the humidity that kills you really.

My kids want a drink – not food really. They love milkshakes, fruit juices and smoothies rather than a lunch or dinner.  So I make them a lot of drinks. Often with homemade ice cream or try a different milk but it’s usually this Frozen Hot Chocolate

Let’s talk ingredients and Substitutes

• Chocolate – Now you know how sensitive I am that you use good quality chocolate. No it does not have to be expensive chocolate but chocolate you usually like to eat. If I make this for the kids I usually use some milk chocolate. BUT if I make it for Ziv or me then it has to be dark chocolate, nothing less.
• Ice cream-  You can use vanilla or chocolate. Both work great. In fact try  some Belgium Dark Chocolate and…. oh you will thank me.
