Ingredients
Scale
2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
⅓ cup (66 grams) granulated sugar
¼ cup (20 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine Ingredients:
Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk:
Beat using the whisk attachment of an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture is foamy.
Increase Speed:
Slowly increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until the cream is thick and fluffy:
Soft Peaks: For spooning onto desserts (cream will be thick but the peaks will curl when the beaters are lifted).
Stiff Peaks: For piping (peaks will stand straight up when the beaters are removed).
Notes
Storage: Wrap the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Best used within 2 days. For extended shelf life, add cream of tartar to stabilize the whipped cream.
Tips: For the best results, use very cold heavy cream and chill your bowl and beaters. If the whipped cream becomes overbeaten or droopy, refer to tips in the post for restoration.
