Instructions

Directions

In a large bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
Gradually mix in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Continue mixing until fluffy.
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder over medium heat. Whisk continuously until dissolved.

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top generously with the prepared whipped cream.
Finish with chocolate shavings or marshmallows, and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
