Description
A light and fluffy whipped cocoa cream that is perfect for desserts or as a topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (make sure it says heavy on the packaging)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large cold mixing bowl on medium-high speed (with whisk attachment if using a 5 quart stand mixer), beat the heavy cream and cocoa powder until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute. This recipe makes a small batch; you don’t want your bowl larger than 5 quart. If needed, use a small bowl with a handheld mixer or double the recipe for a larger bowl.
- Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla, then continue beating until stiff peaks form (when you pull the beater up, peaks will form and not fall over), about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve immediately. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The longer it sits, the more it’ll deflate but will still be edible.
Notes
- This recipe is best made fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator.
- Double the ingredients if you need a larger batch.
