Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
- 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
- Mini marshmallows or chocolate chips for garnish
- A pinch of cinnamon or instant espresso powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce (optional)
- Ice (for iced version)
- A sprinkle of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl in the freezer for 10–15 minutes.

Notes
Always start with cold cream in a chilled bowl for best volume. Stop whipping at soft peaks to avoid grainy texture.
