This Whipped Hot Chocolate recipe transforms classic hot chocolate into a luxuriously creamy and frothy treat. Combining a rich whipped chocolate topping made from dry hot chocolate mix and heavy cream with warm chocolate milk, this beverage is garnished with mini marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, shavings, and mini chocolate chips for an indulgently delightful experience perfect for cozy evenings or special occasions.

Ingredients

For the Whipped Hot Chocolate Topping

  • 2 tablespoons dry hot chocolate mix
  • 5 tablespoons heavy cream

For the Hot Chocolate Base

  • 3 cups chocolate milk

For Garnish

  • Mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate sprinkles
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Make the Whipped Hot Chocolate: In a medium bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together the dry hot chocolate mix and heavy cream on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes stiff, creamy, and holds soft peaks. This whipped topping will add a rich, airy texture to your drink.
  2. Warm the Chocolate Milk: Pour the chocolate milk into a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just warm but not boiling. This gentle warming preserves the smoothness and sweetness of the chocolate milk.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Pour the warmed chocolate milk into a tall glass, serving as the base for your whipped hot chocolate.
  4. Top with Whipped Chocolate: Spoon the prepared whipped hot chocolate generously over the warm chocolate milk to create a voluminous, creamy crown.
  5. Garnish: Finish by sprinkling mini marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate shavings, and mini chocolate chips on top as desired to add texture, color, and extra chocolate goodness.

Notes

  • Use chilled heavy cream for best whipping results.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate milk to avoid scalding or separation.
  • Adjust sweetness by choosing your preferred chocolate milk or adding extra sweetener if desired.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and chocolate milk with a plant-based alternative.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm milk and cold whipped topping.
