Instructions

Make the Whipped Chocolate: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa mix, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer, whisk, or high-powered milk frother until the mixture is fluffy and thick.
Heat the Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and stir in the hot cocoa mix or melted chocolate. Whisk until smooth and steaming.
Assemble the Drink: Pour the hot chocolate into a mug, leaving room for the whipped chocolate topping. Spoon the whipped chocolate over each mug, creating a fluffy, chocolatey layer.
Garnish & Serve: Add marshmallows, extra whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.
Sip & Enjoy: Stir in the whipped topping for a rich, creamy treat—or enjoy it as a fluffy, chocolatey layer before mixing.

Healthier Swaps – Reduce sugar by using unsweetened cocoa powder and a natural sweetener like honey or stevia.
Extra Indulgent – Melt real chocolate into the hot milk for a richer flavor.
Flavor Twists – Add a pinch of cinnamon, peppermint extract, or even a shot of espresso for a mocha version.
