Hot Cocoa

Coconut Whipped Cream

Instructions

Hot Cocoa

  • Combine the milk and chocolate powder in 4 cups you plan to serve the hot cocoa in. Microwave until the milk is well heated and the chocolate melted.
    The length of heating time will differ according to the strength of your microwave oven. Mine takes 1 ½ minutes. I recommend you start there, as you don't want to the milk to boil.
    Once the milk is heated, stir so that the chocolate mixes into the milk.
  • Stir in the Baileys, and top with the Coconut Whipped Cream.

Coconut Whipped Cream

  • Place a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. Place a bowl and beaters from a mixer in the freezer at least 30 minutes before making the whipped cream.
  • Remove the can from the refrigerator and open it, being careful not to shake the can. The cream should be solidified at the top of the can.
    Carefully scoop out the cream, using a spoon, and transfer it to the cold bowl. Whip it up for a few minutes with the chilled beaters, until creamy.
    Add the sugar and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth. You should have enough whipped cream for 4 cups of hot cocoa.
  • Use immediately, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
