1
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in the milk. Heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
2
Mix Cocoa and Sugar
In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and sugar. Add a splash of the warm milk to create a smooth paste.
3
Combine Ingredients
Once the milk is warm, add the cocoa mixture to the saucepan, along with salt and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until fully combined and heated through.

4
Prepare the Cream
In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
5
Whip the Cream
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
6
Serve
Once the hot chocolate is ready, pour it into a mug and top it generously with the whipped cream.
