Description

Indulge in a creamy and fluffy treat with this Whipped Hot Chocolate recipe. Combining rich chocolate milk with airy whipped cream infused with hot chocolate mix, this comforting drink is perfect for a cozy evening or a special treat. Easy to prepare and customizable with marshmallows or shaved chocolate, it delivers a delightful chocolate boost both in texture and flavor.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Garnishes (Optional): To elevate your drink, sprinkle with marshmallows and/or shaved chocolate as desired for extra sweetness and presentation appeal.
  5. 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.
