Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (66 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (20 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and a large mixing bowl, ensuring ingredients are chilled for optimal whipping performance.
- Attach the whisk to an electric mixer and begin blending on low speed, creating a gentle, foamy texture.
- Gradually elevate the mixer’s speed to medium-high, continuing to whip the cream until it transforms and begins to thicken.
- Monitor the cream’s consistency carefully: for dessert topping, aim for soft peaks that gracefully curl when beaters are lifted.
- For precise piping designs, continue whipping until stiff peaks form, standing upright when beaters are removed.
- Stop mixing immediately once desired peak consistency is achieved to prevent over-beating, which can cause butter-like separation.
- Use cream immediately for optimal texture and visual appeal, or refrigerate briefly until ready to serve.
Notes
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment beforehand to help the cream whip faster and hold its structure more effectively.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich, deep chocolate flavor that elevates the entire dessert topping.
- Ensure heavy cream is very cold directly from the refrigerator to achieve maximum volume and stability when whipping.
- Avoid overbeating, which can cause the cream to turn grainy or start separating into butter, by stopping once soft or stiff peaks form.
