Peppermint Whipped Cream and Marshmallow Whipped Cream

My favorite way to top my hot cocoa or hot chocolate with whipped cream. So to finish off hot cocoa/chocolate week, I have two yummy whipped cream recipes to top your cup off with. First up is a easy peppermint whipped cream and then I have a marshmallow whipped cream too. I loved the peppermint version on top of the sweet slow cooker hot chocolate and best ever cocoa mix.
If you use it right away you get little crunchy bits of candy cane in it. If you let it sit a bit the candy canes completely dissolve for a deliciously creamy topping. It would also work well to serve on top of anything else that would taste good with peppermint – chocolate pie, brownies, cupcakes, etc. It also turns a beautiful pink color.

Ingredients
- 6 red and white peppermint candy canes or 24 red and white mini peppermint candy canes
- 2 cups of whipping cream
Instructions
- Unwrap your candy canes and place them in a blender or food processor. I like to break them into pieces as I add them to the blender.
- Process until the candy canes util they are a fairly fine powder.
- In another bowl, whip cream until firm. No need to add sugar. The sweetness will come from the candy canes.
- Fold in the candy cane powder in the cream. Use immediately to top you cocoa if you like little pieces of crunchy candy cane in it (This is the way I like it). Or place in the refrigerator for 2 hours and allow the candy canes to completely dissolve.
Next is marshmallow whipped cream. This recipe is where two of the favorite hot cocoa toppers meet to make one fabulous way to finish off a steamy hot cup of cocoa. I like to let the marshmallows sit in the cream for a bit before using it. Them the marshmallows get all puffy and soft.
