Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Instant coffee or espresso powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill a mixing bowl and whisk or electric mixer beaters in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to ensure the cream whips quickly and stays cold.
In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee, ground cinnamon, and ground cayenne pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together by hand or use an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overmix (this can turn the cream grainy).
Taste the mocha cream and adjust the spice level by adding more cayenne pepper if desired.
Serve immediately as a topping for coffee, hot chocolate, brownies, or cakes, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
Optional: Garnish with dark chocolate shavings before serving for an extra touch of decadence.
