Ingredients

For the whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream, chilled

Hot Chocolate:
 2 cups whole milk*
50g (about 1/2 cup) milk powder
3g (about 1 teaspoon) cornstarch
150g (about 1 cup 60% dark chocolate, in disks or coarsely chopped
      (semi sweet chocolate chips will work well)

Bring milk to a boil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium then add the chocolate, whisking vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the milk powder and cornstarch, still whisking, until everything is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and thick.

The whipped cream should be beat with a hand or stand mixer until medium-stiff peaks form.  A 1/2 tsp. of vanilla is a good option.

Divide chocolate between 4 cups, and add a dollop of whipped cream.
