Instructions
- Gather your three main ingredients: milk, hot cocoa mix, and ice.

- Pour the frozen hot chocolate into a tall glass.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra decadent experience, substitute 1/4 cup of the milk with chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce.
