Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Whipped Hot Chocolate
  1. In a medium bowl or stand mixer, combine the dry hot chocolate mix and heavy cream. Whisk on medium speed until thickened and fluffy, achieving stiff peaks in about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, pour in your chocolate milk and heat it gently over low flame. Stir occasionally for about 3-5 minutes until it’s warm but not boiling.
  3. Once the chocolate milk is warmed, pour it carefully into a tall glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
  4. Spoon the fluffy whipped hot chocolate mixture on top of the warm chocolate milk, letting it cascade over the edges.
  5. Add your favorite toppings, such as mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate chips.
