Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Add the cocoa and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk and stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
In a blender place the remaining cup of milk, the room temperature chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Enjoy with a spoon or a straw. . . .or both!

Known as Frrrozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity III in New York City, this delightful beverage is essentially a mature version of a milkshake. We like it served just as is, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a handful of marshmallows; but if you're a mocha fan, try adding a teaspoon or two of espresso powder, and enjoy the added buzz.
