Description
Hot Chocolate Whipped Cream is a rich, fluffy topping made with just two ingredients: heavy whipping cream and powdered hot chocolate mix. Perfect for adding a creamy chocolate twist to drinks, cakes, and desserts, it’s quick, easy, and full of comforting flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (at least 36% milk fat)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup powdered hot chocolate mix (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters or whisk attachment in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add the powdered hot chocolate mix gradually.
- Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- Use immediately or transfer to a piping bag. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Use more or less hot chocolate mix depending on desired sweetness and intensity.
- Try flavored cocoa mixes like peppermint or salted caramel for seasonal variations.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra depth.
- Add instant espresso powder for a mocha version.
- Add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or 1 teaspoon cornstarch to stabilize if needed.
- Use a plant-based heavy cream and dairy-free cocoa mix for a vegan version.
