Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup milk (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
- Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. This creates the fluffy, airy topping.
- Heat your milk in a small saucepan or microwave until hot, but not boiling.
- Pour the warm milk into your serving mug.
- Spoon the whipped chocolate mixture generously over the top of the warm milk.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting dessert drink.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, use chocolate milk instead of plain milk for the base.
- If you do not have an electric mixer, you can whisk vigorously by hand, but this will take longer to achieve stiff peaks.
- This whipped topping can also be used over iced coffee for a cold beverage treat.
