Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pound Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 ounces Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the strawberries. Leave the stems on for presentation or remove them for easier eating.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream may become grainy.
Fold in the vanilla extract gently to maintain the whipped texture.
If desired, finely grate the dark chocolate for garnish and set it aside.
Arrange the strawberries on a serving platter or in individual dessert bowls.
Transfer the spicy cocoa cream to a serving bowl or pipe it decoratively using a pastry bag.
Sprinkle the grated dark chocolate over the cocoa cream and strawberries for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful and spicy twist on berries and cream!
