Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe

Frozen Hot Chocolate. It doesn’t make much sense until you taste it. Then you realize how it is possible to capture the flavor of a hot chocolate in a frozen beverage. This frozen hot chocolate recipe is a low carb summer must have!

I was blessed a few weeks ago to go to Serendipity 3 in New York City with my Great Aunt June and my daughter, who has June as her middle name in her honor. It was a lovely afternoon and I can finally cross visiting Serendipity and having one of their famous Frozen Hot Chocolates off my bucket list.

Unfortunately, about an hour after sharing one with my daughter I had an awful headache. I assume it was from the sugar. I became determined to make my own version at home that was sugar-free.

Most of my recipes come from my need to take food I love and make it Trim Healthy Mama friendly. Sometimes it is something I’ve eaten dozens of times and other times it’s something I’ve only had one but it was amazing enough to stick with me.

How to Make Frozen Hot Chocolate

It is very easy to make frozen hot chocolate. Simply put the ingredients in the blender and press the button.

The first secret ingredient in this is coconut oil. It gives a creamy texture to the drink. If you use regular coconut oil you may notice a slight coconut taste. If you use refined coconut oil it has no coconut taste.

The second is xanthan gum. Using just a pinch helps the drink stay smooth and creamy and not separate.

Ingredients for Frozen Hot Chocolate:

Notes

Notes on Sweeteners: 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
