Whipped Chocolate Mixture
- 2 tablespoons powdered hot chocolate mix
- 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Base
Optional Garnishes
- Marshmallows
- Shaved chocolate
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
