Start by mixing the hot cocoa powder with ¼ cup of warm milk. This helps dissolve the cocoa completely, ensuring a smooth, chocolatey flavor.

In a blender, combine the dissolved cocoa mixture, remaining milk, and ice cubes. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy.

Pro Tip: For an extra creamy texture, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the blender.

Pour the mixture into two tall glasses.

Add whipped cream, sprinkle chocolate curls on top, and throw in a few marshmallows if you’re feeling fancy.

Avoid This: Don’t over-blend, or the ice will melt, leaving your drink watery instead of frosty.
