Scale
Whipped Chocolate Topping
- 2 TBSP powdered hot chocolate mix
- 5 TBSP heavy whipping cream
Base
- ¾ cup chocolate milk
- Optional: marshmallows and/or shaved chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered hot chocolate mix, preparing the base for your whipped topping.
- Whip the Mixture: Use a whisk or electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and light, creating a rich whipped chocolate consistency.
- Heat Chocolate Milk: Warm the chocolate milk in the microwave for 1-2 minutes based on your microwave’s Wattage and desired temperature. For younger children, heat less to keep it warm rather than hot.
- Assemble: Spoon the fluffy whipped chocolate topping over the warm chocolate milk to create a layered hot chocolate drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Add marshmallows or shaved chocolate on top if desired, then enjoy your delicious whipped hot chocolate!
Notes
- Use chilled heavy whipping cream for best whipping results.
- If you don’t have an electric mixer, a hand whisk will work but requires more time and effort.
- Adjust the amount of hot chocolate mix to control the sweetness intensity.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and chocolate milk with coconut cream and a dairy-free chocolate milk alternative.
- Garnishes like marshmallows and shaved chocolate enhance both flavor and presentation.
