Ingredients
Full Batch
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup (15-30g) powdered sugar*
- 3 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
Single Serving
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- A couple drops vanilla extract optional
- 1 to 2 teaspoons (3-5g) powdered sugar*
- 1 teaspoon (2g) unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
Instructions
- In a large bowl* or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, and cocoa powder.
- Use a whisk, handheld electric mixer, or the whisk attachment of your stand mixer to whisk the cream until it reaches your desired consistency (soft peaks for spooning over drinks, stiff peaks for piping).
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Granulated sugar can be substituted for powdered sugar. If using granulated sugar, use 2 to 3 tablespoons or 1 to 1½ teaspoons for a single serving
*If whipping the cream by hand, chill the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting. This will help your cream whisk up a little faster and more easily.
*Use a smaller bowl to make the single-serving whipped cream. You will need to use a handheld electric mixer or a whisk and arm power to make a single serving because a stand mixer is unable to process an amount this small.
This recipe will make approximately 2 cups of whipped cream. Approximate nutritional information is for a single serving of ¼ cup.
Leftover whipped cream can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
