Ingredients
- 1 packet hot cocoa mix
- ¼ cup marshmallow creme
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 2 cups milk
- Ice
Optional Garnishes:
- Chocolate syrup
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Mini chocolate bars or chocolate chips
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. Make the Whipped Cocoa
In a medium bowl, add the hot cocoa mix, marshmallow creme, and whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, start on low speed to combine the ingredients. Gradually increase to medium speed and beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. The whipped cocoa will be thick and fluffy, perfect for piping on top of your drink.
2. Prepare the Glasses
Drizzle chocolate syrup along the insides of two glasses or mugs for a decorative touch. This adds a fun, sweet element to the drink and enhances the chocolatey flavor.
3. Add Ice and Milk
Fill each glass halfway with ice to keep the drink chilled. Then, pour 1 cup of milk into each glass over the ice. The milk acts as the base of the drink, and the cold temperature is a nice contrast to the rich, whipped topping.
4. Top with Whipped Cocoa
Transfer the whipped cocoa mixture to a piping bag or a plastic zip closure bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe the whipped cocoa generously on top of the milk, creating a beautiful, fluffy layer.
5. Garnish and Serve
For the finishing touches, garnish your s’mores whipped hot cocoa with your favorite toppings. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate bars or chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows on top for a true s’mores experience. Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent, s’mores-inspired drink!
Tips for Success
- Make it Extra Chocolatey: Drizzle extra chocolate syrup on top of the whipped cocoa for an even richer flavor.
- Chill the Whipping Cream: For the best results, make sure your whipping cream is cold before you start beating it—it will whip up more quickly and hold its shape better.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Add toasted marshmallows, caramel sauce, or even crushed candy bars for extra flair.
