Whipped Hot Chocolate

Prepare the hot chocolate: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to steam. Do not let it boil.

Add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the saucepan, stirring until melted and fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Prepare the whipped topping: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Assemble the drink: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, filling each about 3/4 full. Top generously with the whipped cream.

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle shaved chocolate or chocolate curls on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
