Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup heavy cream/whipping cream
- 4 Tbsp. confectioners sugar
- 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
- 3 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Mix together the confectioners sugar and cocoa powder.
- Start beating the heavy cream in a bowl with large sides using a whisk or hand mixer*.
- As the cream starts to thicken, slowly add the cocoa and sugar mixture to the cream as you continue to beat it**.
- Once the chocolate whipped cream is thick, almost like a frosting, it’s ready.
- Optional: put 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup in each glass.
- Add 1 and 1/2 cups milk to each glass.
- Top with whipped chocolate.***
Notes
- Using an electric hand mixer is much quicker than beating the cream by hand.
- I use a large bowl with high sides so cream doesn’t splatter everywhere. After I beat it or a minute or so, I tip the bowl gently to the side and add the dry ingredients into the side of the bowl a little at a time then slowly incorporate it into the cream. It doesn’t take long to thicken into a heavy whipped cream that looks like frosting.
- If you want the chocolate to set on top, scrape it in so that it clings to the top of the glass. If you just plop a dollop in, it will partially sink in the glass. It’s difficult to get the top perfectly covered so don’t stress about it. You’re going to stir it all together anyway!
