Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Chocolate Topping
- 2 tablespoons dry hot chocolate mix
- 5 tablespoons heavy cream
Hot Chocolate Base
- 3 cups chocolate milk
Instructions
- Whip the chocolate topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry hot chocolate mix and heavy cream until stiff peaks form and the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy.
- Warm the chocolate milk: Gently heat the chocolate milk on the stovetop over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until warm but not boiling.
- Assemble the drink: Pour the warm chocolate milk evenly into two serving glasses.
- Top with whipped chocolate: Spoon the whipped hot chocolate mixture over the warm chocolate milk to create a light and airy topping.
- Garnish and serve: Add any desired garnishes such as a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of syrup, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate milk is warmed gently to avoid scorching and maintain a smooth texture.
- The whipped topping can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to a day, but whip it again briefly before serving for best texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan chocolate milk alternatives.
- To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract into the whipped topping.
