Frozen Hot Chocolate – in an ice cream maker

By Ashlee Marie 16 Comments

A few years ago, okay 4 1/2 years ago (where does the time go!!)I got to take a girls weekend with my best friend to NYC to celebrate my 30th birthday!  A few weeks later my husband lost his job, so I’m so grateful I went when I did because it’s not going to happen again for a long time!  ANYWAY! While we were there we went to Serendipity to try the Frozen Hot Chocolate!

A delicious recipe for frozen hot chocolate, just like you get at serendipity in NYC, made in an ice cream machine to create the perfect slushy consistency

It was served in a giant bowl just like this one, overflowing onto a plate!  It was fantastic and I KNEW I could make my own version.  SO I went home and played around different variations tweaking my homemade Hot Chocolate. I tried using ice cream, using ice in a blender and using the ice cream maker.  I found that the Ice cream maker created the BEST texture, great crystallization, for slushy perfection.

to get the perfect slushy consistency for this copycat frozen hot chocolate I use my ice cream maker and it is perfect

I love create a mint version of this, and even an amaretto version (one of my favorite flavors with chocolate). I think I’m going to try a peanut butter and a coconut version as well. Just switch some of the extract for anything else you want to try. Then I top it with loads of fresh whipped cream and some shaved chocolate to make it pretty! Serve it overflowing onto a plate to be JUST like Serendipity, but it IS a lot, so for my kiddo’s I use smaller containers. Serve it fresh, it won’t freeze quite right.

if you love frozen hot chocolate from serendipity in new york city you will love this homemade version

    How many servings does this make. We are having a Frozen Night Time Play Date in a few weeks and all the “Elsas” will flip for this. Just want to make sure I have enough for all of them. Thanks!

      um it expands a bit as it goes though the machine, but just over 4 cups. that’s simply as much as the ice cream maker will hold, if you have a larger maker you can make it bigger!

    I’ve been dreaming about frozen hot chocolate since last August when I had it visiting Miami. I live in Minnesota and find myself craving it during the bitterest chills of the winter ironically 🙂

    Thank you for letting me relive this delicious drink all over again!
