Ingredients

2 ½ cups LACTAID® Whole Milk

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

6 tablespoons granulated sugar

3-4 cups ice cubes (4 if you want it thicker)

2 tablespoons marshmallow topping

Non-dairy whipped cream (optional)

Halloween sprinkles  (optional)

Other Tools: Clear cups, black marker

Directions

For the Ghost Cups

  1. Add one tablespoon of marshmallow topping to a spoon and apply on the inside of the clear cup to create a ghost shape. Repeat the process for the next cup.

  2. Once ghosts are formed on the inside of the cup, use the black marker to draw circles as the eyes and mouth on the outside of each cup. Store the cups in the fridge to keep them chilled.

For the Frozen Hot Chocolate

  1. In a blender, combine the LACTAID® Whole Milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on low for about 15-20 seconds to make sure the cocoa powder and sugar dissolve completely.

  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender.

  3. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is thick, smooth, and has no large chunks of ice. The texture should be similar to a milkshake.

  4. Pour the frozen hot chocolate into the two chilled cups. If you'd like, top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream and Halloween sprinkles. Serve immediately.
