Smores Whipped Hot Cocoa is a rich, creamy, dessert-style drink topped with marshmallow whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Hot Cocoa:
  • 2 tablespoons hot cocoa powder (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (if using unsweetened cocoa)
  • 1½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Marshmallow Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons marshmallow fluff
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
  • Toasted mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate syrup drizzle

Instructions

  1. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Beat 1 cup cold heavy cream on medium until thickened. Add marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat to stiff peaks. Refrigerate until needed.
  2. Warm 1½ cups milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steamy (not boiling).
  3. Combine cocoa powder and sugar in a mug. Add a splash of warm milk and stir to form a smooth paste.
  4. Pour in the remaining warm milk while stirring. Add vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  5. Top the hot cocoa generously with the marshmallow whipped cream.
  6. Add crushed graham crackers, chocolate shavings, or toasted marshmallows.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by using more or less sugar.
  • Use non-dairy milk for a vegan option.
  • Store leftover whipped cream in the refrigerator.
