Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 TBSP Powdered Hot Chocolate Mix
  • 5 TBSP Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ¾ cup Chocolate Milk

Optional Garnishes

  • Marshmallows
  • Shaved Chocolate

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Assemble the Hot Chocolate: Spoon the fluffy whipped chocolate mixture gently over the warm chocolate milk, creating a rich and creamy topping.
  4. Add Garnishes (Optional): Top your whipped hot chocolate with marshmallows and/or shaved chocolate for an extra layer of flavor and decoration.
  5. 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.
