Ingredients
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 packages instant hot chocolate mix (about 3 oz total)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups ice
1/2 cup whipped cream
marshmallows, for topping
chocolate jimmies (sprinkles), for topping
Directions
Measure 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 30–45 seconds until the cream is warm to the touch but not hot (around 110–120°F). Stir gently.
Add the 3 packages of instant hot chocolate mix to the warm cream. Whisk thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved with no lumps remaining.
Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream into a blender. Add the 1 1/2 cups of ice and the chocolate mixture from step 2.
Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is smooth, thick, and frosty. Pour evenly into 2 glasses.
Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a handful of marshmallows, and a sprinkle of chocolate jimmies. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.
Comments
This is a dessert drink that's genuinely easy and uses only staples available at any Charlotte grocery chain—hot chocolate mix, heavy cream, ice, and marshmallows are all standard pantry items. The stated 20 minutes is honest and actually closer to 5 minutes of active work if you have a blender. At roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving (heavy cream and quality mix being the main cost drivers), it's reasonable for a dessert treat rather than a meal. The only real drawback is that it doesn't reheat well and must be consumed immediately, so it's a same-night, make-to-order dish rather than something you can batch on Sunday.
