Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting.
Step 2
In the chilled mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Sift them together to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl. Start mixing on low speed to incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid without splattering.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to medium and then high as the mixture starts to thicken.
Step 5
Once the cream begins to form soft peaks, add the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to over-mix as this can cause the cream to turn grainy.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours if not using right away.
