This Frozen Caramel Hot Chocolate is a deliciously indulgent treat perfect for warm days or whenever you crave a sweet, icy twist on classic hot chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale

Frozen Caramel Hot Chocolate

  • 2 cups ice
  • 2 cups hot chocolate (cooled)
  • 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • 1 cup Cool Whip (non-fat works fine)
  • 1/4 cup Rolos, halved (optional)
  • 1/4 cup caramel chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. Blend the base: Add 2 cups of ice cubes and 2 cups of cooled hot chocolate to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you prefer a thicker drink, add more ice and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
  2. Pour the drink: Carefully pour the blended frozen hot chocolate into two individual cups or one extra-large mug, preparing it for serving.
  3. Add toppings: Generously top each serving with 1 cup of Cool Whip. Drizzle with 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping. For extra indulgence, sprinkle with optional halved Rolos and caramel chips.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately with two straws or spoons per cup to enjoy the creamy, icy caramel-chocolate treat right away.

Notes

  • Use cooled hot chocolate to avoid melting the ice too quickly and keep the drink thick and frosty.
  • Adjust the amount of ice to make your drink thicker or thinner depending on your preference.
  • Optional toppings like halved Rolos and caramel chips add extra texture and flavor but can be omitted if you prefer a simpler drink.
  • Non-fat Cool Whip works well for a lighter topping, but full-fat versions will add extra richness.
  • This recipe is perfect for a quick and easy no-cook frozen dessert beverage.
