Whipped Hot Chocolate Flip
February 14 2021
If you love hot chocolate, you need to get crazy and mix it up a bit. This Whipped Hot Chocolate Flip is exactly what it says: whipped chocolate cream sits atop a hot vanilla milk base. Yum!
It's very simple...start by whipping cream with cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar. Heat up milk, water and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into a mug, top with chocolate cream, and dunk a biscotti into it. That isn't necessary, but why not?? By the way, if you're a trend follower, this is all over Instagram. So it must be good, right?? Okay, I'm being a little sarcastic, but it is very popular right now, so give it a go. Let me know how you liked it!
Add a little Peppermint Schnapps or Bailey's Irish Cream if you want an adult libation.

Total Time: 10 minutes
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder, plus more for sprinkling

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, mix the whipping cream, cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar on low-speed. Turn up speed, and mix on medium high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Whisk the warmed milk, water and vanilla in a measuring cup and divide between two mugs.
Using a rubber spatula, divide the chocolate whipped cream evenly and top the milk mixture with the cream. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder and serve with biscotti.
Chef's Notes:
Everyone has a different idea of what temperature they enjoy hot chocolate. Heat your milk and water to your liking.
You can heat the milk and water in the microwave or in a small sauce pan.
