  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 0.5 cup dry hot chocolate mix
  • 1.5 cups fresh ice cubes
  • Fresh whipped cream, optional topping
  • Chocolate shavings, optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Gather your high-speed blender, measuring cups, and serving glasses.
  2. Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for ten minutes if desired.
  3. Add the cold milk, dry hot chocolate mix, and ice into the blender container.
  4. Secure the lid firmly and blend on the highest setting until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform with no ice chunks remaining.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly between two chilled glasses.
  6. Top generously with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving immediately.

Notes

Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest consistency. Ensure ice cubes are freshly made to preserve the integrity of the chocolate flavor. You can substitute whole milk with a creamy dairy-free alternative like oat milk for a different profile.
