Instructions
Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Warm the milk slightly and add it to the melted chocolate, stirring well to combine. Mix in the sugar and a pinch of salt until fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir vigorously with a spatula to break up ice crystals, repeating until the mixture is frozen but still scoopable, about 2 hours.
Break the frozen mixture into chunks using a spoon or spatula, creating manageable pieces for blending.
Add the frozen chunks to a high-speed blender and blend on high until the mixture turns silky, smooth, and icy, about 30 seconds.
Once smooth and creamy, pour the chocolate slushie into chilled glasses, and optionally garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk. Adjust sweetness to taste, and serve immediately for the best icy texture.
