Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar *sweeten to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for chocolate mixture)
  • a couple drops vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (for chocolate mixture)
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted, for chocolate mixture)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Sifter
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Method:
  1. Step 1: Chill Your Mixing Bowl
    To achieve the best results, place your mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before you start. This helps the cream whip up faster and increases the volume.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Ingredients
    In your chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it at this time. Follow it up with the powdered sugar and sifted cocoa powder.
  3. Step 3: Whip It Up!
    Using your electric mixer or a whisk, start whipping the mixture on medium speed. Gradually increase to high speed as the cream begins to thicken. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-whipping!
  4. Step 4: Taste and Adjust
    Once the cream has reached soft peaks, taste it! If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more powdered sugar until desired sweetness is reached.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Mixture
    In a separate small bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Mixture
    Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, ensuring you don’t deflate the whipped cream too much.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
    Your Chocolate Whipped Cream is now ready to serve! Use it as a topping for desserts or enjoy it straight from the bowl!

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
  • Adjust sugar levels to personal taste.
  • Be careful not to over-whip; aim for soft peaks.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
