Get the Recipe: 10-Minute Whipped Hot Chocolate Recipe
Whipped hot chocolate takes a traditional hot chocolate recipe and turns it upside down! Most hot chocolate recipes are made with a warm, chocolate milk base and topped with vanilla whipped cream. However, this recipe does the opposite: it instructs you to make chocolate whipped cream and top it on vanilla milk to make the whipped hot chocolate! It's the perfect drink to celebrate holidays and inside weather.
Ingredients
For the Whipped Hot Chocolate
- ½ cup (4 ounces or 113 grams) heavy OR whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons Dutch-processed OR natural unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for garnish
- 1 Tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- ½ cup (4 ounces or 113 grams) whole milk, warmed in the microwave or stovetop
- ½ cup (4 ounces or 113 grams) water, warmed in the microwave or stovetop
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Nonni's Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti, for serving
Instructions
For the Whipped Hot Chocolate
- First, make the chocolate cream. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a medium bowl if using a whisk, handheld electric mixer, or milk frother), combine the cream, cocoa powder, and confectioners' sugar. Whisk on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- Make the hot vanilla milk base. Whisk together the milk, water, and vanilla in a mug.
- Assemble the whipped hot chocolate. Use a rubber spatula or cookie dough scoop to scrape the chocolate cream over the milk.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder. Serve immediately with a spoon and a Nonni's Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti cookie. To drink, stir the chocolate cream into the milk base with the spoon.
