Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting.
In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Sift them together to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl. Start mixing on low speed to incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid without splattering.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and then high as the mixture starts to thicken.
Once the cream begins to form soft peaks, add the vanilla extract.
Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to over-mix as this can cause the cream to turn grainy.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours if not using right away.
