Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk raw or type of your choice
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons sweetener
  • 2 portions mini marshmallows for garnish
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, cacao powder, and sugar. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat for a few minutes until thick and fluffy.
  • If you want warm milk, heat it in a small saucepan over medium-low heat now. Otherwise, divide the milk evenly between two glasses.
  • Use a piping bag or snip the corner of a zip-top bag and pipe the whipped chocolate cream over the milk, or simply spoon it on.
  • Garnish with mini marshmallows and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t over-whip the cream. Whip just until soft to medium peaks form. 
  • Taste your whipped mixture as you go. If it’s too intense, add a touch more sweetener. If it’s too sweet, add a pinch of salt or a tiny splash of espresso to balance it.
  • Add a drop of your favorite flavored extract to the cream or milk for a fun twist. You can even swirl in a little espresso or instant coffee for a mocha vibe.
  • Serve chocolate milk in mini glasses with whipped cream and sprinkles for a fun dessert drink at parties or gatherings.
  • For the best balance of flavors, stir some of the whipped topping into the milk as you sip.
  • Make extra of the whipped chocolate topping, chill it for a bit longer, and serve it dolloped over cake, pancakes, or fresh fruit.
Serve:  Enjoy with a croissant, drop biscuits, or simple shortbread cookies. For cozy vibes, serve with cinnamon sugar toast, banana bread, a muffin, or a slice of coffee cake. 
Store: Transfer leftover whipped chocolate cream to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a gentle whisk or stir before using again. The milk portion (if already mixed with the whipped topping) is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it separately in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
