Frozen Hot Chocolate Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" freezer-safe dish
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix any brand
- 1 cup chocolate milk or regular milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 packets hot chocolate mix
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream softened
- 1 cup whipped topping plus extra for garnish
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
- Shaved chocolate or sprinkles optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a 9x13-inch dish, dump the chocolate cake mix, hot chocolate packets, chocolate milk, and melted butter. Stir it up just enough to combine, but leave it a bit lumpy because we're all about the effortless look!
- Sprinkle those mini chocolate chips on top like a diva sprinkling drama. Don't mix them in—let them sit there proudly.
- Pop this beauty into the fridge to cool down for about 30 minutes while you sneak a spoonful of that vanilla ice cream.
- Once cooled, spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the cake layer like a frozen blanket. Top it with whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
- If you're feeling fancy, add some shaved chocolate or sprinkles. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the cake is firm and ready to serve. Slice, serve, and bask in your frozen hot chocolate glory!
