Ingredients:
1 (6 1/2 ounce) chocolate pieces, variety of your favorites
2 teaspoons store bought hot chocolate powder
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups ice
chocolate shavings
1 cup heavy cream ( very cold)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Directions:
Chop chocolate into small pieces and place in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
Stir occasionally until melted.
Add the cocoa and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended.
Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk and stir until smooth.
Cool to room temperature.
In a blender place the remaining cup of milk, the room temperature chocolate mixture, and the ice.
Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri, pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Whipped cream: Combine the cream and the vanilla and mix well with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
Start whipping the cream on medium speed.
Add the corn syrup slowly while beating.
Whip until the cream holds soft peaks.
Slather, drop and dollop onto whatever your heart desires.
Enjoy with a straw or a spoon!
