Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup heaping cocoa powder
- â…“ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. If using, add the espresso powder for an extra depth of flavor.
- Whip the Cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the mixture on medium speed until stiff peaks form. This process will take about 4 to 5 minutes, ensuring the cream is light yet holds shape.
- Chill and Serve: Once whipped, chill the chocolate whipped cream until ready to serve. Enjoy it straight off the spoon or as a fluffy frosting or filling for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for better whipping results.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar.
- For a deeper chocolate flavor, sift the cocoa powder before adding to avoid lumps.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Whip just until stiff peaks form to avoid overbeating and turning the cream buttery.
