Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl or using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine dry hot chocolate mix and heavy cream. Whisk on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until stiff and glossy peaks form.
  2. While your whipped topping comes together, take a small saucepan and pour in the chocolate milk. Heat it over low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s just warm.
  3. Once your chocolate milk is warmed just right, pour it into a tall glass, filling it about halfway.
  4. With a spoon or spatula, gently dollop the whipped hot chocolate mixture over the warm chocolate milk.
  5. To elevate your whipped hot chocolate experience, add your favorite garnishes like mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or even drizzle chocolate syrup.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy your decadent whipped hot chocolate.
