Scale
Main Ingredients:

- 2 cups ice cubes
- ½ cup hot chocolate mix
- ¼ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate, melted
Optional Creamy Ingredients:
- ¼ cup heavy cream or additional milk
Topping Ingredients:

Instructions
- Transform chocolate into a silky liquid by microwaving in brief intervals, gently stirring between each session until completely smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool and settle momentarily.
- Gather your blender and introduce hot chocolate mix, the freshly melted chocolate, milk, heavy cream, and ice cubes into the vessel. Activate the blender at high intensity, transforming the ingredients into a velvety, aerated mixture with a consistent texture.
- Select elegant glasses and carefully cascade the frosty chocolate concoction into each, creating a visually appealing presentation.

- Serve the beverage immediately, offering guests a choice between a wide straw or an elegant spoon to savor the decadent, creamy indulgence. Relish the luxurious blend of cold and chocolatey goodness in every sip.
Notes
- Choose high-quality chocolate for a more intense, luxurious flavor that elevates the entire drink’s taste profile.
- Use cocoa powder with at least 60% cocoa content to boost the chocolate’s depth and richness.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond, oat, or coconut milk for dietary preferences or unique flavor variations.
- Freeze leftover mixture in ice cube trays to create chocolate ice cubes for future drinks, preventing dilution and maintaining strong chocolate intensity.
