What is a Frozen White Hot Chocolate
A frozen white hot chocolate is basically a white chocolate milkshake. During the holidays, you can often find different types of hot chocolate, such as white hot chocolate. Since we want to make this milkshake all year long, we are going to be using white chocolate chips instead of a pack of white hot chocolate. Anytime of the year other than the holidays, that's pretty hard to find.
You can easily find white chocolate chips in the grocery store next to the semi-sweet chocolate chips. My kids eat them by then handfuls!
Ingredients in Frozen White Hot Chocolate
- White chocolate chips. Your favorite brand. A white chocolate bar cut into pieces would work too.
- Vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream that your family enjoys.
- Vanilla extract. For a little extra flavor.
- Milk. To help make the milkshake more liquid and easier to drink.
