Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer Stand Mixer with a whisk attachment

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup sugar granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl.
  • Use an electric mixer at low speed to carefully mix the sugar and cocoa powder into the cream without splattering the dry ingredients out of the bowl. Gradually increase the speed of the mixer to high speed as the cream thickens. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag, and pipe it on top of cake, cheesecake, or pie. You can also enjoy it on its own or with strawberries.

Notes

  • Chilling the mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment if you are using a stand mixer) in the freezer for 30 minutes before mixing will help the cream whip up faster.
