How to Make Iced Chocolate at Home

Looking for an easy iced chocolate recipe? You only need drinking chocolate powder, cold milk and ice to make a rich, creamy iced chocolate drink at home.

Unlike instant chocolate drinks, Fzin's drinking chocolates need to be mixed thoroughly to achieve their smooth texture. The easiest way is with an automatic milk frother, but a blender or shaker works too. A spoon alone will not mix the chocolate properly.

For a classic milk chocolate flavour, try Premium Milk Hot Chocolate Powder 1kg, part of Fzin Coffee's palm oil free drinking chocolate range.

Prefer a smaller pack? Try Milk Hot Chocolate Powder Amorosa Palm Oil Free 500g. Enjoy its smooth milk chocolate flavour hot or iced, or combine it with espresso for a creamy chocolate mocha. Follow the quantities and preparation instructions on your Amorosa pack.

Ingredients for One Iced Chocolate

• 40g drinking chocolate powder (approximately three or four tablespoons)

• 250ml chilled milk, or your preferred milk alternative

• A handful of ice cubes

• Optional: a little grated chocolate for decoration

Don't have kitchen scales? Approximately four tablespoons of chocolate powder is a convenient guide, although weighing 40g is more accurate.

A 1kg cylinder of Premium Milk Hot Chocolate Powder provides approximately 25 servings.

Choose a generously sized glass so there's room for the milk, ice and chocolate froth.

Method 1: How to Make Iced Chocolate with a Milk Frother

The easiest way to prepare an iced chocolate at home is with an automatic milk frother.

Fzin's Milk Frother Pro Hot & Cold Function mixes and froths milk automatically, allowing you to enjoy chocolate drinks without manual stirring.

1. Measure the milk. Use approximately 250ml of cold milk. You can use the glass you'll be drinking from as a guide, leaving room for ice and froth.
2. Pour the milk into the frother first.
3. Add the chocolate powder directly to the jug. Use 40g or approximately four tablespoons.
4. Select the cold frothing function. Let the machine mix and froth the chocolate automatically.
5. Add ice cubes to your serving glass.
6. Pour the chocolate over the ice and finish with a light sprinkle of grated chocolate, if you wish.

That's it! No heating and no manual whisking.

Use milk straight from the fridge, as the cold frothing function mixes the drink without chilling the milk itself. Keep the ice cubes in your serving glass rather than adding them to the frother.

Method 2: How to Make Iced Chocolate in a Blender

Prefer a thicker, frostier chocolate drink? A blender is a great alternative.

1. Pour 250ml of chilled milk into a blender suitable for crushing ice.
2. Add 40g of drinking chocolate powder.
3. Add a handful of ice cubes.
4. Blend until the chocolate is thoroughly combined and the ice reaches your preferred consistency.
5. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

This produces a colder, more textured drink, particularly if you use plenty of ice.

Everything goes into the blender cold. There's no need to heat the milk or add boiling water.

Add Your Favourite Topping Sauce

Make your iced chocolate your own with any of our topping sauces. Choose chocolate, caramel, strawberry, sour cherry or maple. Drizzle a little inside your glass before pouring in the chocolate, or add a finishing drizzle on top. We promise you it is devine!

Method 3: How to Make Iced Chocolate with a Shaker

Don't have a blender or automatic milk frother? You can still prepare a delicious iced chocolate using a cocktail shaker or a protein shaker.

1. Pour 250ml of cold milk into your shaker, leaving enough space for vigorous mixing.
2. Add 40g of drinking chocolate powder, approximately three or four tablespoons.
3. Close the lid securely.
4. Shake vigorously until the chocolate powder is completely combined with the milk and the drink is smooth.
5. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
6. Pour the chocolate over the ice and enjoy.

A shaker provides the vigorous mixing needed to incorporate the drinking chocolate properly.

Important: Do not try to mix Fzin Coffee drinking chocolate with a spoon. Our drinking chocolate is not an instant powder and needs thorough mixing to achieve the right texture.

This shaker method is for cold drinks only. Never shake hot liquids in a sealed shaker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use hot chocolate powder in cold milk?

Yes! Fzin Coffee drinking chocolate powders can be enjoyed hot or cold. However, they are not instant chocolate mixes, so simply stirring the powder into cold milk with a spoon will not produce the best result.

Use a milk frother, blender or shaker to mix the chocolate thoroughly.

Do I need a blender to make iced chocolate?

No. The Fzin Milk Frother Pro has a cold function that mixes and froths chocolate automatically. Alternatively, a cocktail shaker or protein shaker works well for preparing iced chocolate at home.

What is the difference between iced chocolate and a chocolate milkshake?

An iced chocolate is generally made using drinking chocolate and milk, served chilled or over ice. A chocolate milkshake is typically thicker and often contains ice cream.

This iced chocolate recipe doesn't need ice cream or whipped cream.

Can I make iced chocolate with oat milk?

Absolutely. Chilled oat milk is an alternative to dairy milk. Different brands produce different flavours and textures, so choose one you enjoy.

Why is my iced chocolate powder not mixing properly?

Fzin's drinking chocolates require thorough mixing rather than simple spoon-stirring. If your drink contains lumps or undissolved powder, use an automatic frother, blender or shaker and mix until the chocolate is fully incorporated.

How can I make my iced chocolate creamier?

Start with cold whole milk or your preferred creamy milk alternative. Mix the drinking chocolate thoroughly and use an automatic milk frother for a smoother, lightly aerated texture.
