Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened oat milk) Both dairy and oat milk work well.
  • 3-4 tablespoons hot chocolate mix or cocoa powder Use cocoa plus sugar if not using hot chocolate mix.
  • 2-2.5 cups ice Essential for the thick texture.
  • optional chocolate syrup Recommended for an extra touch of sweetness.
  • optional whipped cream For topping; adds creaminess.
  • a pinch salt Enhances the chocolate flavor.

Preparation
  1. Add 1 cup of milk to the blender.
  2. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix (or 2 tablespoons of cocoa plus 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar).
  3. Add a tiny pinch of salt.
  4. Add 2 to 2.5 cups of ice.
  5. Blend until smooth, then check the thickness. If too thin, add a small handful of ice and blend again.

Best served immediately after blending. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but it may separate. Blend again with ice to restore texture. For a richer drink, replace some milk with half and half.
