This easy whipped hot chocolate recipe is a fun way to make homemade cocoa extra special. Warmed milk is topped with an easy chocolate whipped cream and plenty of marshmallows for a rich and decadent cup of hot cocoa!
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, hot cocoa mix, and powdered sugar.
Use an electric hand mixer to beat on high until stiff peaks form.
Transfer the chocolate whipped cream to a large ziplock bag. (Optionally, you can skip this step and just spoon the whipped cream on top of the milk, but it doesn't look as fancy that way.)
Fill your mugs ¾ high with warm milk (you can warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave for 90 seconds).
Snip the tip off one of the corners of the ziptop bag and pipe the cocoa flavored whipped cream on top of the warm milk.
Top with chocolate sprinkles ,mini marshmallows, crushed peppermint candies or all the above!
Serve immediately, and the drinkers can stir in the whipped chocolate into the milk before drinking it.
Notes
Whipped Cream TipWhipped cream is so much easier to make when you start with everything really cold! Place your mixing bowl and electric beaters into the freezer for about 10 minutes before you start this recipe to ensure they are super cold.Storage information This is best when made and served fresh. The whipped cream can start to break down when stored in the fridge, so I don’t recommend making a big batch and saving it.Serving Options Yes! You can serve this chocolate whipped cream on top of cold white or chocolate milk as well!
