Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming hot but not boiling, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla if using.
  3. Spoon the whipped chocolate on top of the hot milk. Serve immediately with a spoon, stirring as you drink.

Notes

The whipped chocolate can be made up to a day ahead; store it covered in the fridge and give it a quick whisk before spooning over fresh hot milk. If the cream over-whips and turns grainy, gently fold in a splash of fresh cream to smooth it out.
