Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream, divided
  • 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar (more or less depending on desired sweetness)
  • 2-3 tablespoons sweetened cocoa powder (more or less depending on desired richness)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
  1. First we're making plain whipped cream. Add ½ cup heavy cream and all of the powdered sugar to a tall sturdy plastic cup or to a bowl. Add the vanilla extract if using.
  2. Insert the immersion blender and turn on. Move the immersion blender around and blend until the mixture holds stiff peaks (basically when it's thick and looks like whipped cream). This should be done in 1 minute or less. Note: this step can be done with a stand or hand mixer, it will just take longer.
  3. Transfer your completed plain whipped cream to a serving bowl.
  4. Clean the immersion blender.
  5. Add the second ½ cup of heavy cream and the cocoa powder to a tall plastic cup or to a bowl. Note: If using unsweetened cocoa powder you might want to add a bit of powdered sugar for sweetness.
  6. Insert the immersion blender and turn on. Move the immersion blender around and blend until the mixture holds stiff peaks (basically when it's thick and looks like whipped cream).
  7. Transfer the completed chocolate whipped cream to a serving bowl.
  8. Serve with ice cream, fruit, or eat it straight from a spoon.
