Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe: A Lighter Indulgence You’ll Love

I am feeling rather deprived.

I’ve never actually had frozen hot chocolate, so I can’t claim to be the ultimate expert.

But I really, really, really want to try it. Does desire count for anything?

Can someone please teleport me to New York City so I can taste the famous Serendipity frozen hot chocolate?

While you’re at it, escort me to buy a pair of Christian Louboutins, a stylish handbag, and—why not—a devoted benefactor.

Sorry, Mr. How Sweet, but I clearly need one. It would save us both a lot of trouble, I promise.

See? I have ideas.

Frozen hot chocolate

Allow me a moment to gush about how fabulous this frozen hot chocolate is.

I promise I’m not this insufferable in real life—well, depending on which relatives you ask.

It has protein and chocolate, tastes heavenly, and isn’t packed with endless calories.

I’m in love.
