Ingredients
Scale
For the Whipped Chocolate Cream
- 2 tablespoons dry hot chocolate mix
- 5 tablespoons heavy cream
For the Hot Chocolate Base
- 3 cups chocolate milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Chocolate Cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry hot chocolate mix and heavy cream vigorously until the mixture becomes stiff and creamy, forming soft peaks.
- Warm the Chocolate Milk: Gently heat the chocolate milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until it is warm but not boiling, to preserve the smooth texture and flavor.
- Assemble the Drink: Pour the warm chocolate milk evenly into two serving glasses or mugs.
- Add the Whipped Topping: Spoon or dollop the whipped hot chocolate cream generously over the warm milk, creating a rich, velvety topping.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish as desired with toppings such as chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or mini marshmallows for an extra indulgent finish. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use chilled heavy cream for better whipping results.
- Heat the chocolate milk gently to avoid scalding or burning.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a plant-based chocolate milk.
