This S’mores Whipped Hot Cocoa is a decadent and comforting drink combining rich cocoa, whipped cream, and classic s’mores toppings like mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and melted semi-sweet chocolate. Perfect for cozy evenings or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Hot Cocoa Base

  • 2 cups whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk and Cocoa: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the whole milk and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and warm.
  2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are fully melted and incorporated into the hot cocoa.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy whipped cream.
  5. Assemble the Drink: Pour the hot cocoa into mugs, generously top each with a dollop of whipped cream, then sprinkle mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs over the top.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the s’mores whipped hot cocoa immediately while warm for the best taste and experience.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free milk and coconut cream as a whipped topping alternative to make this drink vegan.
  • To make the whipped cream sweeter, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar while whipping.
  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, add more cocoa powder or chocolate chips.
  • Toast the mini marshmallows briefly with a kitchen torch for a more authentic s’mores flavor.
  • Graham cracker crumbs can be substituted with crushed digestive biscuits if unavailable.
