Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup Powdered sugar or ¼ cup for a less sweet cream
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup Cocoa powder unsweetened and sifted

Instructions
 

  • In a cold large mixing bowl add the heavy whipping cream, sift the cocoa powder, and add the powdered sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla.
  • Whip with an electric hand mixer or in a stand mixer for about 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Once stiff peaks start to form, your whipped cream is ready!
  • Make sure that you don't overmix the whipped chocolate frosting so it won't turn into butter.
  • Use immedietly or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day.

Notes

  • I recommend using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to whip this up. It is easier and quicker.
  • Add ½ teaspoon of espresso powder to the mixture for a richer flavor and to enhance the delicious flavor of the chocolate.
  • Do not overmix this! If you overmix this cream, it will curdle and will ruin the creaminess of this cream.
  • In order to speed up this process and make the cream whip quicker, place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping the mixture.
  • If you feel like your chocolate whipped cream is too bitter, feel free to add 1-2 tablespoon of powdered sugar.
  • Use COLD heavy cream for this. Cold heavy cream whips faster and holds its shape beautifully. Room temperature cream will whip as well, but will take way longer!
  • If you are looking for a less thick whipped cream, whip this to soft peaks.
  • Make this into a chocolate mascarpone whipped cream by adding mascarpone cheese that is at room temperature.
