This week, Crumbl decided to share a nice little twist on their famous hot chocolate cookies by making them “frozen”. Well, it is not technically frozen but it is served chilled so I guess that makes up for it.
This recipe is made with a thick chocolate cookie that is packed with milk chocolate chips to really give you that hot chocolate feel. These cookies are then topped with a homemade frozen hot chocolate mousse which actually uses a hot cocoa mix. Each cookie is topped with mini. marshmallows because you can’t have hot chocolate without marshmallows!

This was my favorite recipe so far from this website! The texture was perfect and the light, whipped frosting with the immense chocolate base made an amazing well balanced cookie. Will definitely be making this again!

I have made quite a few of the cookies from this page, and this was definitely the favorite for my husband and two sons! I was pretty obsessed with them too. These are so rich in the frosting is so creamy and yummy. I’m obsessed!
Chahinez
Thank you Felicia! Glad to hear your family loved them!
Katie
Would these (or any chilled cookies) hold up well if I ship them? I’m worried about them losing shape and the icing getting everywhere. Are they pretty soft or if I package them individually do you think they’ll be OK?
Chahinez
I would not recommend shipping these as the frosting might not be able to handle that.
Holly
I’ve made many of your recipes, and this is my FAVE BY FAR!! That cookie is honestly the thickest and softest, omg. Honestly I cannot stop eating them!! 5 ⭐️
Kay Rodriquez
Finally got some hot choc mix to make these I cant believe I took so long . I love these. The rich chocolate taste is so good I really like that the frosting is not overly sweet the frosting and cookie blends perfectly together. As always job well done my friend.
Emily
This cookie is soooo delish. I love that the frosting has actual hot chocolate powder!!! I didn’t have packets but a tub of mix, I calculated 6 tbsp. of mix and it was a smidge too sweet for me. Maybe 5? Probably depends on the hot cocoa mix you have.
The dough gets pretty hard to stir at the end, but keep going! The crumbl cookie i had was super dense, this recipe is a bit less dense.
Chahinez
Definitely depend on which hot chocolate you use but 5 tbsp sounds great!

Chahinez
I am so happy you loved these Mariah!

Alice
LOVED THESE! My family and I did a tasting comparison, and we all agreed that we preferred this recipe over the crumbl made ones! Only change I made was subbing the heavy cream in the cookie for greek yogurt!
Amy
Perfect. Only thing I did differently was that I rolled 1 oz balls and got 24 out of mine. Baked for same amount of time, 10 minutes. Delicious. Thank you for another excellent recipe!
Chahinez
Thank you so much for sharing that! You’re very welcome!

A new Crumbl location recently opened near me, so I finally got to try some of their amazing flavors, including this frozen hot chocolate one! I’m usually more of a warm cookie person, so I wasn’t sure how I’d take to a cookie served cold, but it was so delicious. Thanks for sharing all these Crumbl copycat recipes — can’t wait to try them!
Chahinez
I am so happy to hear that you’re looking forward to enjoying these cookies at home!
