Easy No-Fuss Chocolate Whipped Cream Recipe Using Cocoa Powder
This Easy No-Fuss Chocolate Whipped Cream (also called Chantilly Cream) is made with heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and cocoa powder - made in just one bowl, a few minutes and NO mess of melting chocolate over a double boiler. It's absolutely perfect with black coffee and even better with hot chocolate.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream , also called heavy whipping cream
- 3 Tbsp sugar of choice , can also use sugar free sweetener*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract , optional for more flavor
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- For best results, chill mixing bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes before whipping. Keep heavy cream cold in the fridge until then.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl. If you're using a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. You can also use a hand mixer with beaters.
- Add the sugar, and vanilla extract
- Add cocoa powder.Without turning on the machine, use the beaters to quickly swirl the cocoa powder into the liquid so that most of the cocoa powder is wet. This prevents the powder from flying everywhere and making a mess!
- Begin whipping the cream at low speed, gradually increasing to high as it thickens.
- Do a quick taste test and add 1-2 Tbsp more sugar if you want it sweeter
- Whip the cream until it thickens and reaches stiff peaks, or until the beater starts to leave tracks in the cream (see pics)Note: Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
- If you have leftover whipped cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 1-2 days. You may need to re-whip it for a few seconds to restore the desired consistency.
- Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
- Use the freshly whipped cream to top your favorite desserts, such as cakes, pies, fruits, or hot beverages like coffee or hot chocolate.
Notes
For a lower carb option, replace sugar with a sugar-free substitute such as granulated monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. If using stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions.
You can also use 5 Tbsp of powdered sugar instead of 3 Tbsp of sugar in this recipe.
