Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill before starting.
Step 2
In a small bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps. Set aside.
Step 3
Remove the chilled mixing bowl from the refrigerator. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl.
Step 4
Start mixing the cream on low speed with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high as it starts to thicken.
Step 5
Once the cream begins to form soft peaks, reduce the speed to low and slowly add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder mixture, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and salt while continuing to mix on low speed to incorporate.
Step 7
Increase the speed back to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip as the cream may turn grainy.
Step 8
Taste the whipped chocolate cream icing and adjust sweetness or chocolate flavor by adding a bit more powdered sugar or cocoa powder, if desired.
Step 9
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
