Frozen hot chocolate!!

The photo and recipe is from http://www.favfamilyrecipes.com, go check them out!! When I went to NY I went to Serendipity, and they had frozen hot chocolate that was to DIE for! Seriously I was freaking out at how good it was, and now I'm excited to try this recipe! Thank you!



Frozen Hot Chocolate:
4-5 oz chocolate (we like Marabou from Ikea and/or a few different kinds of Ghiradelli)
2 tsp. store-bought hot chocolate mix
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 c. milk
3 c. ice
*Whipped cream (see below)
Chocolate shavings

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt chocolate in a small heavy saucepan or in the microwave. Stir occasionally until melted. Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until blended. Remove from heat, slowly add half a cup of the milk, and stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature. In a blender, place the remaining cup of milk, the chocolate mixture, and the ice (a little at a time). Blend on high speed until smooth (don't overdo it though.. you don't want it to be too runny). Pour into cup or mug and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

*Whipped Cream:
1 c. heavy cream, very cold
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 Tbsp light corn syrup

Combine the cream and vanilla and mix well. With an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, start whipping the cream on medium speed. Add the corn syrup slowly while beating. Whip until the cream holds soft peaks.
