Open in Pepper →Hot chocolate is a winter thing, but the craving doesn't quit in July. Blending it with ice turns the same cocoa and milk you already keep on hand into something thick and cold that kids will stand at the counter waiting for.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the hot afternoons when the kitchen is too warm to turn on the stove, after school lets out, or when somebody wants dessert but nobody wants to bake.
Every recipe here is a blender job. There's a protein frozen hot chocolate made with frozen Greek yogurt and Dutch-processed cocoa, a copycat chocolate frappuccino with vanilla ice cream, a rich frozen hot chocolate with evaporated milk and two kinds of chocolate chips, a double chocolate frappe, and a peppermint-spiked double iced hot chocolate.
Freeze your milk first
Pour milk or almond milk into an ice cube tray and freeze 4 hours. It thickens the drink without watering it down like plain ice does.
Melt the chocolate smooth
For the evaporated milk version, melt the chips over low heat and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes so they don't seize or scorch.
Blend in two stages
Pulse the ice alone 5 or 6 times to break it up, then add the liquid and run it 45 seconds until there are no icy chunks left.
Go easy on extract
Peppermint extract is strong — start with 1/4 teaspoon, taste, and add more. A full teaspoon can take over a single serving.
