How to Make FROZEN Hot Chocolate – 4 Different Ways


this video is sponsored by blue apron in
this video we’re going to show you how
to make frozen hot chocolate a delicious
summertime treat to get started making
this delicious frozen hot chocolate
you’re probably going to need a quick
trip to the grocery store although none
of the ingredients are too crazy here’s
the ingredients we’ll need a bar of your
favorite chocolate about four and a half
ounces some of your favorite hot cocoa
mix regular white sugar some heavy
whipping cream some milk and if you want
to add a little bit of extra sweetness
to your dessert some whipped cream for
today here’s the basic idea
after whipping up a few batches of our
recipe we’ll show you how to produce the
frozen hot chocolate using a blender an
ice-cream machine a ziplock bag full of
ice or if you happen to have it some
liquid nitrogen with all of our
ingredients gathered let’s make our
first batch and throw it in the ice
cream machine oh no golden ticket let’s
start by chopping up our chocolate bar
into a bunch of really small pieces we
want to melt all of our chocolate in a
double boiler that’s when you take one
pan and put it in another pan that’s
full of water this prevents the pan with
the chocolate from overheating and
burning your chocolate
once you have a smooth creamy
consistency in your chocolate it’s time
to add the next ingredients two
tablespoons of hot cocoa powder and one
and a half tablespoons of sugar stir
that in until you have a uniform
consistency it won’t be as smooth as it
was before once the sugar and hot cocoa
are mixed in let’s take it off the heat
at this point I find that a whisk works
a little bit better than a spatula with
the cream thoroughly mixed in now let’s
add one cup of milk at this point what
we have is a deliciously rich extremely
chocolatey mixture that’s frankly a
little too strong you wouldn’t want to
eat this plain except maybe a
teaspoonful about that size because it’s
really really potent so what we actually
need to do now is water it down with
water let’s add one and a half cups of
with the water diluting it it tastes
like an extremely delicious but
room-temperature hot chocolate so cool
hot chocolate cool chocolate unn hot
chocolate let’s make it cold guys

portioned out just the right size that’s
[Music]
I love burgers
yeah all these smells so good oh this
burger looks so good it’s got sauce kind
of running down the sides of it but I’m
okay with it I don’t have a ton of
experience with pork burgers but this is
really good
like that’s another great thing is like

guys this is amazing check the link in
the description the first hundred people
to sign up will get $50 off of their
first two weeks of food I highly
recommend the burgers if you’ve never
used one of these ice cream machines
before they’re pretty simple this
container goes in the freezer for
several hours to lower the temperature
quite a bit and then it just holds your
liquid while it spins in this machine
turn this on and pour in our mix
the ice cream machine method is very
simple but it does take some time and
while that’s running let’s get our next
batch started this time we’re using the
blender recipe and with the blender
recipe we now need to add three cups of
ice into our blender and then pour our
mixture over that we don’t add any water
because the melting ice will dilute it
once we blend up the ice this version of
the frozen hot chocolate is complete
the blender version gives a much thinner
consistency than the other three methods
so if you want a version that you drink
rather than eat with a spoon this is the
way to go oh it’s so good there we go it
has taken maybe 15 ish minutes and at
this point our ice cream machines frozen
hot chocolate is just the right
I can do this all day as you can see the
ice-cream maker does give us a little
bit thicker of a consistency than when
we make it in the blender for our next
method we’re gonna be using something
you may have done if you’ve ever made
ice cream at home that involves putting
what we’re going to freeze in a ziplock
bag and putting that bag inside of a
bigger bag and filling the bigger bag
full of ice and salt I have here a 1
gallon freezer bag and a 2 gallon
freezer bag so we’ve got our smaller 1
gallon bag we’re gonna pour our mix into
there after adding the cream the milk
and the water that’s about 3 cups of
cool liquid so this is just room
temperature we don’t have to worry about
it melting the bag or anything squeeze
out as much of the air as we can now we
just have a bag full of liquid chocolate
now we have our bag of ice and a bunch
of salt I’m using ice cream salt you can
use other salt if you like it should all
work just as well we’re using about 8
cups of ice and now I’ll add about 1 cup
get the salt and ice nice and mixed up
together and now we take our smaller bag
put it inside our larger bag let’s just
make sure it’s nice and covered with our
ice I’m gonna try and suck some of the
[Music]
that way all the ice should pretty well
stay in contact with the bag inside and
at this point we just need to start
mixing it up we shake it and we squish
it and scrunch it and just move it
around because we want all that salty
ice to be cooling down the mixture and
we don’t want it to freeze into a solid
piece we want it to freeze into a nice
slush with this method you can kind of
choose the consistency that you want if
you want it to be thicker just keep it
moving around in your ice and salt for a
little bit longer a little bit more of a
drinkable consistency just take it out
sooner after about ten minutes of mixing
our hot chocolate around inside that
salty ice we have what is most
definitely not that same liquid
consistency now let’s rinse this off so
we don’t accidentally end up getting
salt in our hot chocolate and scoop it
out and see what it looks like aside you
want to rinse it very quickly so I don’t
warm it back up
we have one more method to try and that
is using liquid nitrogen let’s whip up
one more batch and see how quickly we
there’s our chocolatey base now let’s
add some liquid nitrogen to it and see
all the liquid nitrogen down inside our
mixture bubbling up is giving it a
really interesting frothy texture on top
as you can see all four of these methods
work great some people are gonna have an
ice cream maker some people won’t I
think most people will have a blender
but if not ziplock bags are really easy
to get your hands on and that method
works just as well
of course if you want to get really
fancy with it you can start adding
things like whipped cream and garnishes
figure out which method works best for
you and enjoy a cool refreshing
chocolate treat this summer mine guys
