Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup hot chocolate mix (or 4 cups prepared warm chocolate milk)
Instructions
- Prepare your warm chocolate milk base using your preferred hot chocolate mix or by heating 4 cups of chocolate milk on the stove or in the microwave until hot. Divide the warm milk into serving mugs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy chocolate topping. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Spoon a generous amount of the homemade whipped topping over the warm chocolate milk in each mug.
- Serve immediately for a cozy, indulgent chocolate drink.
Notes
- For an iced version, use cold chocolate milk instead of warm milk.
- You can substitute the powdered sugar with granulated sugar if you prefer, but the texture may be slightly less smooth.
- Top with mini marshmallows or a dusting of extra cocoa powder for added flair.
