Description
A delicious and comforting whipped hot chocolate perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (or to taste)
- Chocolate Shavings or Marshmallows (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. This typically takes about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip; you want it fluffy, not grainy!
- Gradually add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped cream while continuing to mix until well combined. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the milk is heated, but not boiling.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste) into the hot chocolate mixture. Stir until completely dissolved. If you want to elevate the chocolate flavor even more, you can add a pinch of salt.
- Once your hot chocolate is ready, pour it into your favorite mugs. Top generously with the whipped cream you prepared earlier.
- Finish off with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. You can also add marshmallows on top for that classic touch.
- Grab a cozy blanket, a good book, or your favorite movie, and enjoy your homemade Whipped Hot Chocolate!
Notes
- This recipe makes a rich and creamy hot chocolate that’s even better with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or some marshmallows on top.
