When my husband and I were first dating, frozen hot chocolate from Serendipidy in NYC made Oprah's Favorite Things list. I thought it sounded so delicious, and he secretly ordered some packets straight from New York City, so we could make our own at home. Awww, so sweet.

For some reason I was thinking about it the other day, so I recreated it using better ingredients. When I told the boys I was trying to make frozen hot chocolate, they looked at me like I was crazy. Everett said, "Mom, hot chocolate can not be frozen." But the result of my more unprocessed version was pretty tasty! They even requested that I make it again at breakfast. Um, probably not!
Frozen Hot Chocolate
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
1/4 c maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut sugar
2 c milk
2 c ice
Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Makes about 4 cups.
Ingredient Notes:
-You could use cocoa powder in place of the raw cacao powder,
however sometimes cocoa powder is over processed. I use this brand of cacao, which can
found at most health food stores.
-Coconut sugar is made from the sap of the coconut palm tree.
It is lower glycemic on the index than regular sugar. I use this brand.
This sugar is a great 1:1 swap for regular sugar in most recipes.
-I used 2% dairy milk, but you could swap it out for almond milk,
coconut milk, or any other nut milk.
