Ingredients

• 85 g semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 360 ml Milk, divided
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 400 g ice cubes (about 3 cups)
• whipped cream and chocolate shavings, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Put the chocolate, cocoa, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl with 60 ml of the milk. Set over a pan of barely simmering water and stir for 2–3 min, until melted and smooth.
2. Take off the heat, stir in the vanilla and the rest of the milk, and leave to cool for 5 min.
3. Pour into a blender with the ice and blend for 30 seconds, until thick, smooth and slushy.
4. Pour into tall glasses, pile on whipped cream and chocolate shavings and serve with a spoon and a straw.

Tips

• Melting real chocolate (not just cocoa) is what gives it the rich, creamy body.
• Use oat or almond milk and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
