Whip the Cream: While the chocolate mixture is warming, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag for easy garnish.

Assemble the Hot Chocolate: Pour the hot coconut chocolate mixture into two mugs. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream from the piping bag.
-
Garnish: Crumble the amaretti cookies and sprinkle them over the whipped cream. Dust with a light layer of cocoa powder for an extra touch of flavor.
