Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor
  • 1 cup milk can use dairy or plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup honey or simple syrup to sweeten the mixture
  • 1 tsp cinnamon adds warm spice
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder for a gentle spicy kick
  • 2 cups ice cubes crushed or small pieces for easy blending

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine the cocoa powder, milk, honey, cinnamon, and chili powder in a blender. Blend on low until the dry ingredients are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, smelling rich and spicy.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid tightly and start blending on a low setting, gradually increasing speed, until the ice is broken down and the mixture becomes slushy and frosty with a slightly gritty texture.
  3. Increase the blender speed and blend until the slushie is smooth and evenly textured, with a thick, icy consistency that crunches when you scoop it.
  4. Taste and adjust the spiciness or sweetness if needed—add a bit more honey or chili powder and blend briefly to incorporate.
  5. Pour the spicy chocolate slushie into glasses. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for a cooling, aromatic treat.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and agave syrup instead of honey. Adjust the chili powder to taste for more or less spice. You can also add a sprinkle of crushed chili flakes on top for presentation.
