Ingredients
Scale
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups milk (for serving)
Instructions
Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
Use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. This creates the fluffy whipped hot chocolate topping.
Heat your milk in a saucepan or microwave until hot, but not boiling.
Pour the hot milk into your serving mugs.
Spoon a generous amount of the whipped chocolate topping onto the surface of the hot milk.
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.
