Step-by-Step Instructions for Whipped Hot Chocolate
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 cup of your favorite dry hot chocolate mix. Using an electric mixer, blend on low speed, then increase to medium-high and whip for 3-5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a separate saucepan, pour in 2 cups of milk and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until steaming but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the warm milk into two glass mugs, filling each about three-quarters full. Spoon a generous dollop of whipped chocolate on top.
  4. Allow kids to add toppings: mini marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, and chocolate shavings.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whipped Hot Chocolate.
