Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups ice
- 2 cups hot chocolate (cooled)
- 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
Toppings (Optional)
- 1 cup Cool Whip (non-fat works fine)
- 1/4 cup Rolos (halved, optional)
- 1/4 cup caramel chips (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add 2 cups of ice and 2 cups of cooled hot chocolate to a blender. Blend until well combined. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more ice and blend again until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Pour Drink: Pour the blended frozen caramel hot chocolate into two cups or one extra-large mug, ensuring an even distribution of the creamy mixture.
- Add Toppings: Top each serving generously with 1 cup of Cool Whip. Drizzle with 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping and sprinkle with optional 1/4 cup halved Rolos and/or caramel chips for an extra special touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with two straws or spoons to enjoy the creamy, sweet frozen caramel hot chocolate experience.
Notes
- Use cooled hot chocolate to avoid melting the ice prematurely and to maintain a frozen texture.
- If you want a thicker milkshake-like drink, add more ice cubes gradually during blending.
- Non-fat Cool Whip can be used to reduce calorie count without losing the creamy topping texture.
- Optional toppings like Rolos and caramel chips add extra sweetness and texture, but can be omitted for a simpler version.
- This recipe makes two servings but can be easily doubled or halved depending on your needs.
