I can already tell, this frozen hot chocolate will be on a regular around here! It's easy to make, uses ingredients that we almost always have on hand, and most importantly - it's absolutely delicious!
Ingredients and preparation
The trickiest part of this recipe was getting the sweetness just right without any nasty aftertaste. I wound up going with a combination of liquid stevia and powdered erythritol. You can substitute this with any sweetener that you like Check out this chart for the proper conversions!
Initially, I tried to make this with heavy cream, but it was hard to get it creamy enough without adding a TON of cream (and thus a ton of calories). I found Half & Half to have the best macros and it really amped up the creamy factor to a perfect level. If you are dairy-free, you could easily substitute with canned coconut milk and have an equally yummy drink. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
I love topping my frozen hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream, chocolate chips, and crushed sugar-free peppermints.
