Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons powdered hot chocolate mix
  • 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Base

  • ¾ cup chocolate milk

Optional Garnishes

  • Marshmallows
  • Shaved chocolate

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered hot chocolate mix, ensuring both ingredients are well measured for the perfect balance of richness and flavor.
  2. Whip to Fluffiness: Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it reaches a fluffy, whipped consistency that will sit delightfully atop the chocolate milk.
  3. Heat Chocolate Milk: Warm the chocolate milk in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting the time based on microwave wattage and desired beverage temperature. For a milder option suitable for younger children, heat it only until warm rather than hot.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the fluffy whipped chocolate mixture over the warmed chocolate milk. Add optional marshmallows or shaved chocolate on top for a festive, extra delicious touch. Enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the heating time of the chocolate milk based on your microwave’s power and personal temperature preference.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat whipping cream or milk alternatives, though whipping effectiveness may vary.
  • Marshmallows and shaved chocolate add texture and enhance presentation but are optional.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm milk and the cold whipped topping before it melts.
