Ingredients
  

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (plus extra for topping)

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for garnish)

1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

    Add Cocoa and Sugar: Whisk in the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined. Continue to heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring frequently.

      Incorporate Marshmallows: Add in the mini marshmallows and stir until they are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

        Whip the Cream: If making homemade whipped cream, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. You can fold in a tablespoon of sugar and vanilla for sweetness, if desired.

          Assemble the Drink: Pour the hot cocoa into mugs. Top generously with whipped cream.

            Garnish: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the whipped cream, followed by a few extra mini marshmallows. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if using.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and encourage guests to toast some marshmallows on an open flame for an authentic s'mores experience. Enjoy your cozy treat!
