Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat milk in a microwave-safe mug or small pot until steaming, about 90 seconds in microwave or 3–4 minutes on stovetop.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk cocoa powder and sugar together in a small bowl to break up lumps.

  3. Step 3

    Add cocoa mixture to hot milk and stir until fully dissolved and smooth, no grainy texture.

  4. Step 4

    Pour into serving mugs and top each with a handful of marshmallows and a dollop of whipped cream.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while marshmallows are melting into the chocolate.
