Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups frozen chocolate ice cubes prepared by freezing blended chocolate milk
• 1/2 cup milk any type, preferably chilled
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
• 2 tbsp sugar adjust to taste
• 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers for the crunchy topping
• optional chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for extra richness

Equipment

• Blender
• Measuring cups and spoons

Method

 

1. Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk in a blender, blending until smooth and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
2. Add some chopped chocolate or chocolate chips if using, then blend briefly just to incorporate.
3. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish and freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours, stirring halfway through to prevent large ice crystals.
4. Once frozen, break the chocolate ice into chunks and transfer them to a blender with the milk and remaining ingredients.
5. Blend the frozen chunks with the milk mixture until smooth, thick, and scoopable, about 30-45 seconds.
6. Spoon the creamy, chocolate slushie into glasses and top with crushed graham crackers for added crunch.
7. Garnish with extra chocolate chips if desired, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon for the ultimate cool treat.

Notes

For an extra decadent touch, top with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

The beauty of this chocolate slushie lies in its simplicity and adaptability. It’s perfect for hot days when everyone craves something cold but refuses to sacrifice flavor. Plus, it’s a versatile canvas—try adding a pinch of chili powder or a swirl of caramel to customize each batch.

Whether you’re sharing it at a summer party or enjoying a solo moment of bliss, this drink offers a moment of cool serenity amid chaos. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best recipes are the ones that bring a little joy and a lot of flavor—all in a single, icy sip.
