Borrowing from its cousin, the whipped coffee (aka Dalgona coffee), whipped hot cocoa is a trendy mashup that's half warm beverage and half cool whipped cocoa-flavored topping. The chocolate-flavored whipped cream cloaks your tongue with a rich cloud of cocoa mixed with a couple of crunchy bits of cacao nibs and perhaps a vanilla-flavored marshmallow before you wash it away with warmed almond milk. We used unsweetened almond milk, cream, cocoa powder, and keto-friendly mini marshmallows sweetened with xylitol and monk fruit, but you can use any variety of ingredients you like. Make this a mocha by using drip coffee mixed with warmed or steamed almond milk, then top with the whipped hot cocoa cream. The contrasting temperatures and textures, and the slight bitter acidity of the coffee will accentuate the velvety, slightly bitter notes in the cocoa.
