Method

Preparing Hot Chocolate

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture in the saucepan, whisking continuously to dissolve the cocoa and sugar completely.

  3. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk until the mixture is heated through but not boiling.

  4. 4

    Add Vanilla and Salt

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Set aside while you prepare the whipped cream.

Making Whipped Cream

  1. 5

    Chill Mixing Bowl

    To ensure the cream whips well, place a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before use.

  2. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the whipped cream over the hot chocolate and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream!
