- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup hot water
- In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Add the hot water and stir until the cocoa mixture is smooth and dissolved. Set aside.
- In a separate, chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the cream mixture until stiff peaks form. This creates your fluffy topping.
- Gently warm the milk in a saucepan or microwave until hot, but not boiling.
- Pour the dissolved chocolate mixture into the warm milk and stir well to combine.
- Pour the chocolate milk into your serving mug.
- Spoon the whipped cream mixture generously on top of the hot chocolate. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half for the base.
- If you do not have an electric mixer, you can still make the topping by vigorously whisking by hand, though it will take longer.
- You can substitute the granulated sugar in the base with your preferred liquid sweetener, adjusting for taste.
