This whipped chocolate milk has everything you love about classic chocolate milk, just made creamier and dreamier. Rich, velvety, and ridiculously easy to make, it takes just 5 minutes using 5 simple ingredients to whip up this year-round treat.
2tablespoonsHershey cocoa powderor any cocoa powder of your choice
2teaspoonssugaror to taste
mini marshmallowsfor garnish
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 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
Start with cold whipping cream straight from the fridge. It whips faster and holds its structure better, giving you that fluffy, cloud-like topping.
Stop whipping once soft peaks appear for a silky, spoonable texture that blends perfectly into the drink.
Mix in a drop of vanilla, peppermint, hazelnut, or almond extract.
Serve whipped chocolate milk in mini glasses with whipped cream and sprinkles, or top with chocolate shavings, crushed candy canes, or a caramel drizzle for extra flair.
Whipped chocolate milk is best enjoyed right after assembling for peak texture and wow-factor.
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.
