Equipment

  • - Mixing bowl (chilled for best results)
  • - Hand or stand mixer with whisk attachment
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • #### 1. Chill the equipment:
  • Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes to ensure they’re cold.
  • #### 2. Combine the ingredients:
  • In the chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
  • #### 3. Whip the cream:
  • Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until soft peaks form. Increase to high speed and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip (which can turn the cream grainy).
  • #### 4. Serve immediately:
  • Use the whipped cream immediately as a topping or filling, or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
