Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
- 1 packet hot cocoa mix
- ½ cup (120 ml) whipping cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) marshmallow creme
- Ice cubes
- Chocolate syrup
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Mini chocolate bars or chocolate chips
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine hot cocoa powder, marshmallow creme, and heavy whipping cream in a medium mixing bowl, creating a rich base for the whipped cocoa mixture.
- Whipping Process: Employ an electric mixer, starting at low speed and gradually increasing to medium, whipping until the mixture transforms into stiff, voluminous peaks with a light, airy consistency.
- Glass Decoration: Artfully coat the interior of serving glasses with chocolate syrup, creating an elegant, swirling pattern that enhances the visual appeal.
- Foundation Layer: Distribute crushed ice evenly across the bottom of each glass, providing a chilled foundation for the beverage.
- Milk Infusion: Pour cold whole milk over the ice, allowing it to settle smoothly and create a creamy base.
- Cocoa Topping: Transfer the whipped cocoa into a piping bag, then carefully pipe the aerated mixture atop the milk, forming a cloud-like crown that completely covers the surface.
- Garnishing: Elevate the presentation by sprinkling crushed graham cracker crumbs, scattering miniature chocolate chips, and positioning delicate marshmallows to capture the essence of s’mores.
- Serving: Present the beverage immediately to maintain the whipped cocoa’s ethereal texture and enjoy the decadent, multi-layered dessert drink.
Notes
- Whip with Precision: Use chilled bowl and beaters for faster, more stable whipped cream formation, ensuring stiff peaks develop quickly.
- Temperature Matters: Cold heavy cream whips better than room temperature cream, so refrigerate ingredients beforehand for optimal texture.
- Chocolate Syrup Technique: Apply chocolate syrup in a spiraling motion inside the glass for an elegant, professional presentation that enhances visual appeal.
- Serving Strategy: Consume immediately after preparation to maintain the delicate, airy texture of the whipped cocoa and prevent separation or deflation.
