Summary:This invention relates to a frozen fudge drink and technique of making the drink. Frozen drinks such as smoothies and coladas are well known. The term "frozen drink" is generally used to mean an icy treat or the like which is close to ice cold and has appreciable viscosity yet is liquid enough to drink. A frozen fudge drink is provided by first blending a plurality of fudge pieces with a relatively small predetermined amount of water to provide an intermediate product that has no significant fudge particles. The liquid-like intermediate product is then blended with a plurality of pieces of ice. The duration of the blending is sufficient to eliminate all large ice pieces and provide a relatively smooth and flowable iced frozen fudge drink having grains of ice. In the first blending step, there may be added a thickener/emulsifier, some cocoa, some sugar and some creamer. A one step variant combines all constituents, including water and ice in a single blending stage that provides a flowable drink having small bits of fudge.
