Choco-Churro Frozen Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100g chocolate, roughly chopped
• 2 cups ice cubes
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Cinnamon sugar, for serving

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk. Once hot, add the cocoa powder, whisking until fully combined.
2. Stir in the sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped chocolate until fully melted and incorporated.
4. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly before transferring to a blender. Add the ice cubes and blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Divide the mixture among 6 glasses, leaving room for whipped cream and cinnamon sugar.

Chef’s Insight

To create an authentic churro flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder to the cinnamon sugar mixture for an added kick.

Notes

For a non-dairy version, substitute the milk with almond or soy milk.
