Experience the ultimate winter comfort with this decadent whipped hot chocolate recipe. Featuring a rich blend of cocoa and creamy milk topped with luscious whipped cream and optional chocolate shavings, this cozy drink is perfect for chilly days when you want a warm indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Hot Chocolate Base

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream

Garnish (Optional)

  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it is just steaming but not boiling to ensure a smooth base without scorching.
  2. Mix Cocoa and Sugar: Whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar into the steaming milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is fully dissolved and smooth.
  3. Add Vanilla and Remove from Heat: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor, then remove the saucepan from the heat to prevent overcooking.
  4. Prepare Whipped Cream Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and whipped cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy topping.
  5. Serve Hot Chocolate: Pour the hot chocolate mixture evenly between two mugs, preparing them for the final indulgent touch.
  6. Add Whipped Cream: Generously top each mug with the whipped cream mixture, creating a creamy layer that melts into the hot drink.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for an elegant presentation and immediately serve the whipped hot chocolate while warm.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure the heavy cream and whipped cream are chilled before beating to achieve the best volume and texture.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste if you prefer sweeter or less sweet hot chocolate.
  • For an extra touch, garnish with chocolate sprinkles or a dash of cinnamon.
