Ingredients

Whipped Hot Chocolate Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hot chocolate mix
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (must be cold)
  • 1 cup milk (or chocolate milk for more decadence)

Additional Ingredients for Iced Version

  • Ice cubes (optional)

Optional Toppings

  • Mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate bits or shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Whipped Topping: In a large cold bowl (preferably metal), combine the cold heavy whipping cream, hot chocolate mix, and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks which hold their shape when an indent is made.
  2. Warm the Milk (for Warm Hot Chocolate): Heat the milk in the microwave until hot but not boiling; warm milk is also acceptable for children. Pour 1/2 cup of hot milk into each of two drinking glasses.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Transfer the whipped cream mixture into a piping bag or a sturdy zip-top bag, then snip off a small corner. Pipe a generous swirl of the whipped topping over the warm milk in each glass.
  4. Add Toppings: Garnish with mini marshmallows, chocolate bits, or your favorite toppings to enhance flavor and presentation.
  5. For Iced Hot Chocolate: Instead of warming the milk, fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour 1/2 cup milk into each. Then apply the whipped topping as described above and add your preferred toppings.
  6. Serving Suggestions and Alternatives: For a richer taste, substitute chocolate milk for plain milk. For dairy-free options, use creamy coconut milk as the base milk and try making cocoa-flavored whipped coconut milk for the topping.

Notes

  • Make sure the heavy whipping cream is very cold to achieve the best whipping results.
  • The whipped topping should be beaten to soft peaks, not stiff peaks, for optimal texture.
  • You can customize toppings with marshmallows, chocolate bits, or any sweet treats you prefer.
  • For a dairy allergy, coconut milk is recommended as the creamiest milk alternative, but almond or oat milk can also be used.
  • Chocolate milk can be used instead of plain milk for a more indulgent flavor.
  • This recipe serves 2 and can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
