Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Chocolate (Whipped Cream)
How do you make hot chocolate with whipped cream?

What is Hot Chocolate (Whipped Cream)?
Hot chocolate (whipped cream) is a warm drink made with cocoa and milk, finished with a topping of whipped cream. Its rich chocolate flavour is softened by the milk, while the cream adds a light, airy contrast. It is a familiar café and home drink in many places, especially in colder weather.
Enjoy it on its own, with a biscuit or pastry, or as a cosy after-dinner treat. The milk and cream make it more filling than a simple cocoa drink; it provides 120 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter cup, ask for less whipped cream or leave off the topping, and pair it with something lightly sweet rather than another rich dessert.
