Ingredients

2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice)

1/4 cup cocoa powder (preferably Dutch process)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add 1/2 cup of the milk and whisk until smooth.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and gradually add the remaining milk while continuously whisking. Heat until the mixture is warm and fully combined, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want a light and fluffy texture.

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, leaving some space at the top.

Generously dollop the whipped cream over the hot chocolate. You can also pipe it for a more polished look.

For a finishing touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings or sift a little cocoa powder over the whipped cream.

Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent whipped hot chocolate!
