Instructions
- Prepare whipped chocolate: In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of powdered hot chocolate mix with 5 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Whisk or beat with a mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy in texture.

- If you don’t have powdered hot chocolate mix, you can substitute with cocoa powder and sugar.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered mix or topping.
- Garnishes like cinnamon or peppermint sticks can add a festive touch.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy whipping cream and chocolate milk with coconut cream and almond milk chocolate variant.
