Ingredients
For the Whipped Chocolate Topping
- 2 TBSP Powdered Hot Chocolate Mix
- 5 TBSP Heavy Whipping Cream
For the Drink
- ¾ cup Chocolate Milk
- Optional: Marshmallows, for garnish
- Optional: Shaved Chocolate, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Chocolate Topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered hot chocolate mix. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy with soft peaks forming.
- Heat the Chocolate Milk: Pour the chocolate milk into a microwave-safe mug and heat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage and desired beverage temperature. For younger children or sensitive palates, you may warm it gently rather than making it very hot.
- Assemble the Drink: Spoon the fluffy whipped chocolate topping gently over the warm chocolate milk. The whipped layer adds a luxurious, creamy texture on top of the warm drink.
- Add Garnishes (Optional): To elevate your drink, sprinkle with marshmallows and/or shaved chocolate as desired for extra sweetness and presentation appeal.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and savor your luscious whipped hot chocolate creation.
Notes
- Use heavy whipping cream for best results to achieve a stable, fluffy texture.
- Adjust microwave heating time depending on your appliance’s power to avoid overheating the milk.
- Marshmallows and shaved chocolate add a nice touch but are completely optional.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate milk alternatives.
- This recipe serves 2 and can be easily doubled for more servings.
