Thanks for sharing!

This chocolate whipped cream is light and light and fluffy.  It is also lightly sweet and has just enough cocoa flavor.  It is a perfect topping for so many things!

After MiMi made maple whipped cream, it got my wheels turning.  Fresh whipped cream is so good on its own, but just imagine the different things you can do with it to make it customized to your dessert!  

This cocoa version has a nice subtle chocolate flavor.  It is super fluffy and not too sweet.  It is a perfect garnish for you favorite chocolate dessert, berries, hot cocoa or just about anything!

This recipe has a light balance.  It is light and creamy and just sweet enough to make it perfect for topping your treats.

The chocolate isn’t overpowering either.  It is just like a fluffy cloud of goodness. 

It is perfect on a pavlova, great on brownie baked oatmeal. Of course it would be amazing on top of hot chocolate or eaten with a spoon!

Chocolate Whipped Cream

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream, super cold

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together cocoa and sugar.  Stir in about a tablespoon of cream until smooth.  This step is to avoid lumps of cocoa later.
  2. Stir in the rest of the cream.  I covered this mixture and placed in the fridge until I was ready to serve.  Alternatively you could go ahead and whip it now, just be sure everything is super cold.
  3. Whip until you have stiff peaks.
