Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and the beaters of your hand or stand mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This helps the cream whip more efficiently.
2. Once the equipment is chilled, remove the mixing bowl and beaters from the freezer.
3. Add the heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl.
4. Using an electric mixer, start at low speed to combine the ingredients, ensuring the cocoa powder and sugar are evenly distributed.
5. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and whip the mixture until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
6. Check the consistency by lifting the beaters – the whipped cream should hold its shape but still have a soft, smooth texture.
7. Be careful not to over-whip, as this could cause the cream to turn grainy or form butter-like lumps.
8. Transfer the chocolate whipped cream to a serving dish or use it immediately as a topping for desserts or cakes.
9. If not using right away, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, covered tightly with plastic wrap.
