A long, long time ago Dairy Queen had something on their menu called Frozen Hot Chocolate. It was my favorite . . . .it was a cross between a slushie and milk shake and it was chocolaty. It wasn’t as heavy as a milkshake, but it was plenty dairy-liscious (unlike slushies). After a few years, it disappeared off of their menu but it has never disappeared from my memory. Over the years, I've managed to replicate it. It's cool, it's frosty, very rich and chocolaty. It's the perfect treat for a hot July Friday morning ;) And when I thought about it, you know what makes it even better? Instant Espresso. Oh yes. Yes, indeed. This just went from frozen hot chocolate to Frozen Mocha! You can thank me later.
Frozen Mocha
2 Servings
Ingredients:
1 cup Milk (I used skim)
½ cup Half and Half
½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
½ cup packed Brown Sugar
¾ tsp Vanilla Extract
3 Tablespoons Instant Espresso
Pinch of Salt
2 cups Ice Cubes
Blend the milk, cream, cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a blender until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add the ice and blend until slushy. Transfer to glasses and serve immediately.
