Peppermint Frozen Hot Chocolate
What could be better than dairy free hot chocolate this time of year? This peppermint frozen hot chocolate is just what you need to celebrate this holiday season. Makes 2 drinks.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 pint Hudsonville Ice Cream’s Dairy Free Chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- For topping: Vegan whipped cream Crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Blend everything. In the order listed, place ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Once everything is in the blender, blend on high until the ice is crushed and everything looks smooth.You want to keep the texture of the ice while still incorporating the dairy free chocolate ice cream. If you blend it for too long, it will turn to pure liquid, so err on the side of caution.
- Garnish and serve. Divide the frozen hot chocolate between two glasses and top with dairy free whipped cream. Garnish with crushed candy canes or peppermints, if desired.
Serving tip: Freeze your glasses before serving to keep your drinks extra cold.
