Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill. A cold environment helps the cream whip more easily.
In the chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Start mixing on low speed with an electric handheld mixer or stand mixer to prevent the dry ingredients from splattering. Once combined, increase to medium-high speed.
Whip the mixture until soft peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter. Stop beating when the whipped cream holds its shape but still has a slightly soft texture.
Use immediately to top your favorite desserts, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
