Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups milk (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
  2. Use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. This creates the fluffy whipped hot chocolate topping.
  3. Heat your milk in a saucepan or microwave until hot, but not boiling.
  4. Pour the hot milk into your serving mugs.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the whipped chocolate topping onto the surface of the hot milk.
  6. Serve immediately as a decadent, cozy winter drink.

Notes

  • For an iced version, use cold milk instead of hot milk.
  • You can substitute chocolate syrup for the cocoa powder and powdered sugar if you prefer a faster, sweeter topping, but the texture will be less stable.
  • This recipe makes enough topping for about 2 large mugs of hot chocolate.
