Main Ingredients
- 2 TBSP Powdered Hot Chocolate Mix
- 5 TBSP Heavy Whipping Cream
- ¾ cup Chocolate Milk
Optional Garnishes
- Marshmallows
- Shaved Chocolate
- Prepare the Whipped Chocolate: In a small mixing bowl, combine 5 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered hot chocolate mix. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and holds soft peaks.
- Heat the Chocolate Milk: Pour ¾ cup of chocolate milk into a microwave-safe container and heat it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting time based on your microwave’s wattage and desired temperature. For younger children, warming the chocolate milk rather than heating it hot is recommended.
- Assemble the Hot Chocolate: Spoon the fluffy whipped chocolate mixture gently over the warm chocolate milk, creating a rich and creamy topping.
- Add Garnishes (Optional): Top your whipped hot chocolate with marshmallows and/or shaved chocolate for an extra layer of flavor and decoration.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the luxurious texture and comforting taste.
Notes
- Use full-fat heavy whipping cream for best whipped texture and richness.
- Adjust the sweetness by choosing your favorite brand or type of powder hot chocolate mix.
- Whisking the cream longer will produce stiffer peaks for a denser topping.
- To avoid overheating, warm chocolate milk incrementally in microwave and stir between heating to ensure even temperature.
- Refrigerate leftover whipped chocolate; re-whip slightly before serving if necessary.
