Step 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the 2 cups milk, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp sugar over medium heat until the cocoa dissolves, about 2 minutes.

Add the 4 oz chocolate chips and 1 tsp vanilla extract, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and steaming, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 4
In a chilled bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream with a hand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
