Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
- Use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. This creates the luxurious whipped topping.

- Spoon the fluffy whipped hot chocolate topping generously over the warm milk.
- Serve immediately as a cafe style hot chocolate at home treat.
