Frozen Hot Chocolate
You can whip this Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe up in a matter of minutes. It’s the best way to cool off in the summer and get your chocolate fix all at the same time!
Day FOUR of Mexican food week on Wishes and Dishes has arrived and today is a DESSERT recipe invented completely by yours truly (but don’t let that scare you). Frozen Hot Chocolate is the name of the game today. This week is flying by!
If you missed the first 3 Mexican-themed posts, here are the links to make it easy for you to find them: Chicken, Bacon and Ranch Stacked Enchiladas, Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowls, and Taco Stuffed Shells.
Have you been to Serendipity Restaurant in NYC, Miami, or Washington DC? This recipe was inspired by their Frozen Hot Chocolate that Mr. Wishes and I had there last year while we were living in Miami.
Serendipity is famous for their frozen hot chocolate flavors and we ended up ordering the Oreo version which was nothing short of awesome. We wanted to try some of their other amazing desserts they had on the menu but that huge frozen hot chocolate did us in.
So, this is my own take on the creamy, dreamy famous treat from Serendipity and I made a “Mexican” version by adding the cinnamon to it. This drink is seriously dangerous: hot chocolate flavor served up icy cold for the summer (or any time of the year you are craving chocolate and it just won’t go away).
But during the summertime, the last thing on my mind is sitting down and having a steaming cup of hot chocolate. So now you can enjoy this winter day treat without getting heat stroke.
- You can whip this Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe up in a matter of minutes. It's the best way to cool off in the summer and get your chocolate fix!
- ½ cup chocolate syrup (I used Hershey's)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups ice cubes
- Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Serve immediately - pour into a glass and top with chocolate shavings (optional).
- Swirl the inside of the glass with chocolate syrup beforehand like I did if you want to!
- You can also add cool whip or whipped cream on top, if desired. Enjoy!
YUM! This looks incredible! I have never had a frozen hot chocolate but after seeing this I will now be craving it!
The first one I had was last year! They’re so good!
Holy moly! That looks outstanding. Condensed milk in here must be fabulous. I can use a big tall glass right now. 😀 Pinning!
It’s SUPER sweet but so good!
Um, so gorgeous and looks oh so amazing!
Thanks, girlie!
I live in NYC and love Serendipity! I haven’t been in years though, I’ll have to go again soon, or maybe just make my own version – yours looks so delicious!!
Thanks so much Cate!! I appreciate you stopping by 🙂
I LOOOVE your version of the Serendipity frozen hot chocolate—I had the classic and didn’t love it, but the Oreo sounds awesome and so does this Mexican one!
I think you’d love this one! It would be hard not to! 😉

Thanks so much, Eric!
Amazing! I tried this before not frozen and I just couldn’t get it right, so I am excited to try your version!
Also every single week I demand (nicely) a mexican recipe now, I’m loving these from you!
Your wish is my command! 😉
Oh wow, this looks amazing! I was wondering when you’d treat us with a Mexican dessert, and I couldn’t ask for anything better! It’s perfect for the summer and sounds so delicious (:
I saved the best for the end of the week 😉
This is my absolute favorite thus far! Just because it includes chocolate!!
Thanks – it’s my fave too!
I’d guzzle this drink in 5 minutes! I’ve never been to Serendipity but I would love to go. I never thought to add sweetened condensed milk to a drink like this…awesome idea. Pinned to make. 🙂
Aww thanks Tina!
I am SO kicking myself for not going to Serendipity while in NYC, but now I don’t have to keep up the self-inflicted guilt trip because this looks even better than their version! I love the Mexican flair.. so delicious!
Yeah you should definitely go there sometime!

Nice and easy! The hardest thing for people to come up with planning ethnic-themed meals is the dessert.This is a sure-fire filled-away idea.
It was a little hard to come up with something, but I managed! 🙂
Wow, so simple yet so tasty! Terrific dessert, and one I haven’t heard of. Thanks so much.

This is such an amazing creation! I loveee hot chocolate but this is just genius!
I have to try this. Condensed milk is an interesting idea. I think it might be good with melted dark chocolate ….
I bet it would! Thanks, Kat!

I want a recipe for the frozen white chocolate hot chocolate Serendipity makes!
it was good it was nufing I ever had before
I just made it with homemade chocolate syrup. It was way too sweet for me (and I have a sweet tooth) so I added about 1/2 cup of almond milk and more ice. It was perfect!
I’m so glad you tweaked it to your liking! Good advice on making it a little less sweet!
I hope this doesn’t come off as me trolling anyone who has left a review because that is not my intention. That said, the purpose of a review is to let someone who is thinking about trying a recipe, know how it came out and if it is worth making it in their opinion. However, all of the reviews that I see simply mention how delicious the recipe looks and how much they WANT to try it. That offers no help to someone who is considering trying a recipe but wants to know if it is worth going out, spending money buying the ingredients, and lastly, spending the time to make it. Nothing against the plethora of reviewers who lent their opinion regarding how the recipe “looks,” but I wish more of them would offer opinions regarding how the recipe actually came out. I believe their reviews would be meaningful to me if they had already attempted the recipe, that’s all. And it’s not just this website that I see this, it’s nearly all recipe sites.
