How to Make Shakes Out of Hot Chocolate Mix

Here is a delicious way to use that hot chocolate mix in your cupboard. Instead of making a warm drink, whip up a cool treat using milk and ice cream.

Things You'll Need

• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1/4 cup hot chocolate mix
• Blender
• Whipped cream
• Cherries
• Chocolate syrup

Instructions

1. Add to blender milk, ice cream and hot chocolate mix. Add anything else at this time such as cinnamon, vanilla extract or raspberry flavoring if desired.

2. Blend all ingredients on high for 1 minute. Stop and check consistency. Add more ice cream if a thicker consistency is desired; add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Check taste and add more flavoring if needed.

3. Pour the shake mixture into two soda glasses. Add whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup and add a cherry. Put a straw into each glass and serve immediately.

Tips & Warnings

• For a Mexican chocolate, add one teaspoon cinnamon with the chocolate mix.
