FAQ
Frostbite Blue Christmas Cocoa: Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to help you get smooth, creamy, icy-blue cocoa every single time.
Why did my chocolate not melt smoothly? +
This usually happens when the milk is too hot. Keep the heat on medium-low and whisk gently. If it looks grainy, remove from heat
and keep whisking until smooth.
Can I use any type of milk? +
Yes! Whole milk gives the creamiest texture, but almond, oat, or soy milk all work great. Just note that dairy-free milk may make
the cocoa slightly less rich.
How do I get the perfect icy-blue color? +
Start with just one drop of blue gel food coloring, mix well, then add another drop if needed. Gel coloring gives stronger color
without thinning the cocoa.
Can I make this ahead of time? +
Yes. Prepare the cocoa, let it cool, then store in the fridge up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, stirring
well before serving.
What toppings work best? +
Whipped cream is classic, but mini marshmallows, snowflake candies, or blue and silver sprinkles make it extra festive. For adults,
a splash of vanilla or peppermint syrup is delicious too.
