Melt the chocolate gently, whisk it into a little warm milk, then mix in cold milk and chill it before serving. Adding melted chocolate straight to ice-cold milk can make it firm into small pieces.
They are similar, but a cold chocolate drink is often made as a richer treat with cocoa or melted chocolate, sweetener, and sometimes ice. Chocolate milk is usually milk flavoured with a chocolate syrup or powder.
A cold chocolate drink can taste gritty when cocoa powder has not dissolved fully or when chocolate has cooled into tiny flakes. Whisk cocoa with a splash of warm milk first, or blend the finished drink until smooth.
Use less milk and blend the cold chocolate drink with ice, or add a little melted chocolate for a richer texture. Blending creates a frothy, thicker finish; simply stirring the drink will leave it more liquid.
Yes, you can freeze a cold chocolate drink, but the milk may separate and the texture can turn icy when thawed. Freeze it in an ice-cube tray instead, then blend the cubes with fresh milk for a slushy drink.
A cold chocolate drink made with milk should not sit at room temperature for more than two hours. If it has been left out longer, discard it rather than chilling it again, since bacteria can grow in dairy drinks.
Yes, cocoa naturally contains some caffeine, so a cold chocolate drink made with cocoa or chocolate is not completely caffeine-free. The amount varies with the ingredients, and dark chocolate generally contributes more than milk chocolate.
No, you can make a cold chocolate drink without a blender. Dissolve the cocoa in a small amount of warm milk, add the remaining cold milk, and shake everything in a tightly sealed jar or whisk it well.
Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a light dusting of cocoa are popular toppings for a cold chocolate drink. Add them just before serving so the topping stays fresh and the drink does not become overly sweet.
Yes, you can prepare a cold chocolate drink ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Stir or shake it again before serving, because cocoa can settle at the bottom while the drink stands.

Cold chocolate drink is a chilled, sweet cocoa drink usually made with milk, cocoa and a sweetener. It is served cold in a glass, whether mixed at home or ordered from a café. Expect a smooth, milky texture and a familiar chocolate flavour; recipes vary in sweetness and richness.
It works well as a refreshing snack or alongside a light bite, especially in warm weather. In Turkey, you may also find it served at cafés as an alternative to hot chocolate. Milk contributes some protein, while the drink is mainly a sweet beverage rather than a meal; it provides 83 calories per 100 g. For a less-sweet version, reduce the added sugar and use unsweetened cocoa.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
