Homemade Hot Cocoa and Whipped Cream with Vitamix

The boys are obsessed with hot cocoa now after watching the Polar Express movie and riding the train (hot hot hot!!) so we made it at home all using the Vitamix!!

We recently were sent the Vitamix Aer Disc Container to try out and so far it’s been amazing!! The Aer Container is compatible with all full-size Vitamix Blenders (we have the E310). With the Aer Disc Container you can quickly and easily whip, muddle, foam, or emulsify!

The first step was to make hot cocoa! We added 2 cups of skim milk and a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the Aer container. Turn the Vitamix on and slowly increase to the highest speed. Run the machine for a bout 6 minutes and then BAM hot cocoa! The friction heats the milk and then melts the chocolate.

The next step is homemade whipped cream! Add 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the Aer container. Pop on your lid and turn it on! Slowly increase your speed until your cream turns into whipped cream, its a pretty fast process!
