Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk cold, any preferred type
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes preferably crushed for smoother blending
  • 1 dash flavor splash such as peppermint extract or a pinch of chili powder for surprise

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Pour the cold milk into the blender and add the cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend the mixture for about 10-15 seconds until the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the blender and start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high until the ice is thoroughly crushed and the mixture thickens.
  4. Once the mixture reaches a slushie-like consistency—smooth yet icy—add a dash of your chosen surprise flavor for an unexpected twist.
  5. Blend briefly to evenly distribute the splash flavor, ensuring the drink is icy, creamy, and vibrant in color.
  6. Serve the chocolate slushie immediately in chilled glasses, with a straw or a spoon for savoring the velvety texture.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different flavor splashes for a personalized touch. For a richer treat, garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
