½ cupheavy whipping cream

2 ozcream cheese

room temperature

1 tablespoonsagave nectar

½ teaspoonvanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1

Place the milk, cocoa powder, agave nectar, vanilla, red food coloring, and salt in a sauce pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, whisking frequently.

Step 3

Once warmed and combined, pour into two individual mugs.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese into a standing mixer and whip on high for 3 minutes until the cream starts to stiffen.

Step 5

Add the agave nectar and vanilla to the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Whip for another two minutes until the whip cream has stiff peaks.

Step 7

To achieve a swirl effect on top of the hot cocoa, transfer the whip cream to a plastic baggie and cut off one corner. Move it in a circular motion to swirl it around the top of the mug. Alternatively, you can dollop the whip cream into each mug on top of the hot chocolate.

Step 8

Decorate! This is optional, but to make it even prettier: Place 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder in a metal sifter and shift it over the hot chocolate. Add some festive sprinkles if desired.
