How to Make Frozen Hot Chocolate

Chop 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate into small pieces and place in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
Add 1/2 cup of Serendipity 3 hot chocolate mix (or your favorite brand) and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the melted chocolate. Stir constantly until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Remove from heat and slowly whisk in 1/2 cup whole milk until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
Cool the chocolate mixture to room temperature.
In a blender, combine the remaining 1 cup whole milk, the room-temperature chocolate mixture, and 2 cups of ice.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth and frothy, reaching the consistency of a frozen daiquiri.
Pour into a large goblet or glass. Top generously with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Enjoy immediately with a spoon or a straw!
