Ingredients
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup whipped cream, plus extra for topping
1/4 cup marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup mini marshmallows (for garnish)
Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the whole milk until steaming but not boiling, stirring often.
- In a bowl, whisk cocoa powder and sugar. Add a few tablespoons of warm milk to form a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk the cocoa paste into the saucepan with the remaining milk until smooth and combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whip together whipped cream and marshmallow fluff until fluffy.
- Pour hot cocoa into two mugs, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Top with the whipped cream-marshmallow mixture, then sprinkle with graham crackers, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows.
- If desired, drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
Notes
Use flavored marshmallows for fun variations.
Swap whole milk with plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
Add peppermint extract for a festive touch.
Stir in peanut butter for a nutty flavor.
Make it boozy with Baileys, Kahlua, or spiced rum.
Best enjoyed fresh, but cocoa can be refrigerated (without toppings) for 2 days.
