I am very deprived.
I have never actually had frozen hot chocolate. I guess I can’t be the best judge here.
But I really, really, really want to try it. Does that count?
Can someone please transport me to New York City so I can try some famous Serendipity frozen hot chocolate?
And while you’re at it, please take me to buy some Christian Louboutin’s. And a fancy purse. And a sugar daddy.
Sorry, Mr. How Sweet. But clearly, I need one. It will save us a lot of money, I promise.
See? I’m full of ideas.
Can I just take a moment to whine about how fabulous this frozen hot chocolate is?
I promise I am not this annoying in person.
(Though judging which family members you ask, that may be debatable.)
It has protein. It has chocolate. It tastes like heaven. And it doesn’t have 8 million calories either.
I’m in love.
Frozen Hot Chocolate – The Healthier Way!
1 cup skim milk (or milk of choice)
1 cup greek yogurt – frozen (freeze for 1-2 hours)
2-3 tablespoons organic cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon organic sugar (or sweetener of choice)
1 tablespoon reduced-fat chocolate syrup
1 scoop protein powder (optional)
1/4 cup crushed ice
whipped cream or whipped topping
Beforehand, freeze a cup of greek yogurt in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. Once frozen, add all ingredients except whipped cream to a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until combined.
Top with whipped cream.
I’ll be right back. I have to go water my money tree in the back yard.

Why am I in the airport with a cup of hot Starbucks when I could be creating this?!?! Seriously, I hardly had to read on past the title to know that this was something I needed. Absolutely bookmarking this because I’ve never had frozen hot chocolate either. (And, another thing we have in common: I could seriously benefit from a sugar daddy as well!)

The world needs this recipe! =)

this makes me think of when I used to open a hot choco packet and pour the powder down my throat cold turkey.

I’ve never even heard of such a thing….but anything with Greek yogurt is a super plus in my book!
If I’m drinking anything hot it better be FROZEN with these crazy craze temps!!

I just had a Serendipity frozen hot chocolate in NY on Easter Sunday, and it wasn’t the best I have ever had. I actually like the ones from DQ better, believe it or not!! Yours is probably better. The Serendipity ones are a lot of hype for no reason.

Oh wow, this looks so delicious. I’ve been to Serendipity and had the frozen hot chocolate…part of the fun and goodness is just for the experience! But this looks like an awesome healthy way to enjoy it. Greek yogurt going in freezer right now…this is on the menu for tomorrow. Thanks!

I am making this this weekend. Seriously. Perfect for a date night!

Oh my gosh… that is brilliant. Can’t wait to make it!
Wouldn’t we all love to have a sugar daddy? And more pretty purses, of course.

I absolutely never though I’d hear chocolate and healthy together in a sentence! You rock!

I am in love with the way your mind works :) How many servings does this make?!
I suppose that doesn’t matter — I”ll probably end up eating the entire batch either way.

I’d say 1-2, but more like just 1. :)

Be blessed-

Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! I must figure out how to alter it to make it dairy-free but still as delicious as that looks!

Lord help me, I totally just want to stick my face in this! I’ve had the frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity here in NYC and I’m pretty sure it DOES have 8 million calories in it! Yikes. So good tho.

You are too cute! Love your blog and CANT WAIT to try this recipe!! Have a great week!

We’ve been to the Serendipity in NYC and had this, it was fabulous, and we have their book that has the recipe. It is awesome. The recreations we have made of it are never as good as the real thing. But your looks great, and protein. Yay!
Reply
This looks lovely… I’ve never had frozen hot chocolate before, either, but I think I will need to fix that!

I have missed Frozen Hot Chocolate since The Cheesecake Factory at Dadeland in Miami stopped serving it. I have tried other recipes but it never was right…hopefully this one does the trick. From the comments I think it will be.

This looks delicious! I love frozen hot chocolate. Dairy Queen makes a frozen hot chocolate. The coffee shop in Hastings does too. Actually you can have one at Starbucks, called a mocha Cream Frappuccino, which is made with cream instead of coffee. They are delicious!
