Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/4 c. milk
• 1/4 c. + 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 c. ice
• Blender
• 4 mugs
• Whipped cream, Cool Whip or Vanilla ice cream

1. Blend sugar and cocoa together in the blender. Blend well, until there are no chunks of cocoa or sugar left.

2. Then add milk and blend until all three ingredients are well combined. The bottom and sides of the blender might need a scrape with a spatula to make sure there are no clumps of cocoa and sugar that are not mixed in properly.

3. Slowly add ice to thicken and to get the desired texture. Do not add more than 2 cups of ice or it will water down the flavor too much.

4. Divide the mixture between 4 mugs and add whipping cream or vanilla ice cream to the top. Garnish with marshmallows or chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Serve with a spoon and a straw.
