Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate | sharedappetite.comCool down with hot chocolate... frozen hot chocolate, that is!  This thick and creamy Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate is spiked with cinnamon and cayenne pepper for an ultimate summer drink!

Guys.  I'm kinda freaking out a little bit.  Any day now, my life is about to change big time.  Someone is going to start calling me daddy.  Well, maybe not right away.  She'll probably just lay there... sleeping, pooping, and eating.  But you know what I mean.

I don't have the first clue about being in charge of another life.  Like, the hospital is actually going to release this little baby into my care.  Are they sure about that?  I've been trained in so many things in life.  Long division.  Works cited pages.  Conducting in multiple time signatures.  But being a father?  Nope, didn't get any classes in that growing up.

And yes, I'm totally reading up on the essentials in a few baby books.  I know all about the rainbow of poop that's in my future, and have that swaddling diagram bookmarked for future use.  But let's get real.  Reading about being a parent is very different than... being a parent.  So I'm just trusting and praying for wisdom... big time.  I'm excited.  I'm terrified.  Let's do this.

Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate | sharedappetite.comAll that had nothing to do with this Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate.  Sorry.  I just wanted to share.

But this Frozen Hot Chocolate?  Yes.  Just yes.  This twist on the classic drink made famous by Serendipity here in NYC has just the right amount of cinnamon and cayenne pepper for one heck of a new flavor experience.

And it's ready to drink in under 10 minutes.  Boom.

If you'd prefer your Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate sans the Mexican part, just leave out the cinnamon and cayenne pepper.  I get it.  You're a purist.  It's all good.

Description

Cool down with hot chocolate... frozen hot chocolate, that is!  This thick and creamy Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate is spiked with cinnamon and cayenne pepper for an ultimate summer drink!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ounces dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar  
  • 2 ½ teaspoons hot chocolate mix
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for garnish
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 to 3 cups ice

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Finely chop dark chocolate into uniform pieces. Place chocolate in a medium mixing bowl and melt at 30 second intervals in the microwave on half power, stirring between each. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler over low heat on the stovetop, stirring frequently. Once chocolate is melted, stir in sugar, hot chocolate mix, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Add in ½ cup of milk and stir until chocolate mixture is fully incorporated.
  2. Pour into blender along with rest of milk and 2 cups of ice. Blend until well combined. If a thicker consistency is desired, blend with one more cup of ice. Divide between 2 glasses and top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cayenne pepper for garnish, if desired.
  3. To make whipped cream: Using an electric mixer, beat cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. For a thicker whipped cream, keep beating until firmer peaks form.

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser
    compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though!
    Hope you get the problem solved soon. Cheers
