Ingredients

2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

In a small saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar.
Add about 1/4 cup of the milk and whisk until smooth to form a paste.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gradually whisk in the remaining milk.
Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until the cocoa is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour into two mugs and top each with half of the mini marshmallows.
Let stand for 1 minute to allow marshmallows to soften slightly before serving.

Tips

For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk.
Adjust sugar to taste, or use a sugar substitute.
Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate shavings for extra flavor.
