Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream, room temperature (divided)
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped sugar-free chocolate bar (about 170 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over low heat until it begins to gently simmer. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
- Place sugar-free chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour warm cream over the chocolate and add vanilla extract. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Whisk in the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled.
- Using an electric hand mixer, whip the chilled mixture until stiff peaks form. Avoid overmixing.
- Spoon into 4 large bowls or 8 smaller dessert cups. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted before chilling to prevent grainy texture.
- The mixture must be completely cold before whipping for proper volume.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze for up to 6 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Stop mixing as soon as stiff peaks form to maintain smooth texture.
