Tips

  • For a darker, less sweet drink, use 70% dark chocolate.
  • Cool the base fully before freezing. A warm tubpint freezes unevenly and turns icy.
  • Too thick to sip? Add 2–4 tbsp cold milk and run Re-spin.

Why it works

Melted chocolate and cocoa add cocoa butter and fine solids that thicken the frozen milk, so it spins into a frosty, creamy drink instead of plain ice.
