Frozen Nutella Hot Chocolate
Watch me make this frozen Nutella hot chocolate from start to finish!
Frozen Nutella Hot Chocolate….my peace offering for neglecting my blog readers for over two weeks : ( Forgive me?
Please excuse my lack of posts lately. This is the busiest time of year on Divas Can Cook and I should be cook’ in it up. The truth? I simply have not felt like being in my kitchen lately. I walk into the kitchen, look around and call for carry-out. Ever have days or weeks like that? I think some of it is because I am soooo over my tiny, cluttered kitchen. I’ve acquired a TON of cool new kitchen gadgets and there is simply not enough space to put them. Everything falls out of the cabinets when you open them. So not fun! I’ve got a blender, bread machine, coffee maker and foreman grilled stashed away in the bedroom closet and a few other things stashed at my in-law’s house.
We’ll be moving in a couple of months (fingers crossed) and my new kitchen has already spoiled me with all the storage possibilities and space. I’m so ready to move! Ok, that’s enough venting. I feel better and I’ve organized my kitchen a little so that helps too.
Thankfully, I’m finally starting to get out of my non-cooking rut (my family rejoices) because today I whipped up some of these easy and heavenly frozen Nutella hot chocolates after lunch. In my eyes, Nutella can do no wrong and hot chocolate is such a comforting treat even in frozen form. I knew it would be a match made in heaven. It was just what I needed to spark my cooking because for lunch I made some incredible hot turkey and cheese sandwiches (recipe coming).
I made frozen Nutella hot chocolate for the three of us and there was pure silence in the kitchen as we sat drinking them. If you’ve never had frozen hot chocolate before then you must make these! It tastes exactly like a hot chocolate but frosty and laced with heavenly Nutella. I think Isaac described it best when he said: “mmm it tastes like a cold candy bar, with tiny ice in my mouth and I think of ice cream a little bit when I drink it!” Kids have the best descriptions ever!
I used Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips, Silk’s pure coconut milk and Stone Cold Creamery hot chocolate mix but any of your favorite brands will work just fine!

I’ve tried it this afternoon and my sister, my boyfriend and my stepdad loved it!! Although Ive used cadbury cocoa instead of the hot chocolate mix, added 3 tbsp of sugar and just a whole fresh milk.. THE BEST! I just wanna let you know that I have a girl crush on you Monique! 😉 HAHA! 😀 More power!
Can i not use the hot chocolate mix?
This was excellent! My hubby does not like Nutella so I used peanut butter instead and it worked! He now has renamed it ‘frozen no bake’! Thanks so much!!!
Girl! I love your cooking! I’m making my boyfriend a meal from your site and this nutella hot chocolate tonight!
I tagged you in my post on FB. Gotta promote a fellow diva.
Where are you from!?
Hey Monique! My name is Hannah Fletcher and I’m 11 years old. My mom and I love your recipes, they are so tasty! I love to bake and you inspired me to start, of course it drives my mom crazy because I bake like 3 times a week! I love you so much! Thanks! Hannah 🙂
Just tried this, unfortunately i didn’t have enough chocolate chips left over to decorate haha:( but it tasted delicious, definitely trying this out again! A little tip, don’t fill your glasses up to the brim, because they’re really hard to finish (unless you’re a nutella freak xD) Cheers Monique 😀
