A blender gives the smoothest texture, but you can crush ice in a food processor or use crushed ice and shake everything together. The drink won’t be quite as creamy.
Frozen hot chocolate is best enjoyed immediately after blending. If it sits too long, the ice melts and changes the texture.
Absolutely! Add a shot of espresso or a little chilled coffee for a mocha-style frozen drink.
