Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, cocoa powder, and sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks. This may take a few minutes.
If you want warm milk, heat it in a small saucepan over medium-low heat now. Otherwise, divide the milk evenly between two glasses.
Transfer the whipped chocolate cream to a piping bag fitted with a large decorative tip of your choice. If you don't have a piping bag, you can also use a zip-top bag and snip off a corner. Pipe a generous swirl of the whipped chocolate cream on top of each glass of milk.
Finish your whipped chocolate milk by garnishing it with mini marshmallows.
Notes
Serve: Pair with a crunchy cookie for dunking or for something lighter, try it with fresh strawberries.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.
