Incorporate that rich hot chocolate taste into each spoonful of your homemade whipped cream by adding a splash of hot chocolate or instant hot cocoa mix whipped into your heavy cream.
Ingredients
½ pint of heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp hot chocolate or instant hot cocoa mix, to taste
½ tsp vanilla, to taste
½ Tbsp sugar, to taste
Instructions
Mix the ingredients together and beat them on high using a hand-held mixer or a KitchenAid mixer with the whisk attachment.
It will take several minutes for the liquid cream to transform into stiff peaks.
TIP: If you beat the whipping cream until it is too stiff you can add more cream and continue beating it. This is also a good trick if you are using leftovers the next day because leftover whipped cream often starts to separate and lose its form. Simply add more cream (if need be) and whip it again.
