An easy chocolate dessert, that will impress your guests!
Homemade whipped cream is a must with certain desserts: strawberry shortcake, any flavor pie, sweet waffles/pancakes, cobblers, well the list goes on and on. But whipped cream is not just an accessory to a another dessert. In my opinion whipped cream is dessert enough on it's own! Especially when you add in CHOCOLATE.
This whipped cream is a lot like a moose, without all the work!
I made two different desserts with the whipped cream, but honestly the possibilities are endless! Take this recipe and run with it! There's so much you can do.
CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM
Ingredients:
1 pint heavy whipping
cream
3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
½ tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
½ cup raspberries, rinsed/dried
2 tbsp
mini chocolate chips (1 tbsp per serving)
Chocolate sauce (for garnish)
Directions:
·
If using a stand mixer put bowl and whisk
attachment in freezer for as little as 10 minutes. Very cold ingredients and
tools help stiffen and stabilize the whipped cream and it’s worth taking the
extra time to do this step!
·
Add whipping cream to the bowl and whisk on a
high setting until soft peaks form. At this point I add in the remaining
ingredients (with exception of cocoa powder) and whisk again until it’s
stiffened up a bit. Taste the whipped cream. If it’s not sweet enough for your
tastes add in a little more sugar until you are happy with the sweetness. I
prefer not so sweet.
·
Once you are happy with the sweetness, add in
the cocoa powder and whisk on a low setting, or fold into cream.
·
For the dessert take a few of the raspberries
and 1 tbsp chocolate chips and place in the bottom of a small glass cup. Add a
good amount of chocolate whipped cream to the cup. If desired garnish with
chocolate sauce, extra raspberries and chocolate chips, and powdered sugar.

This dessert is easy, impressive, and delicious!
Enjoy!
This dessert would be great to make for company, or to take to a party. Just layer it in clear party cups!
My puppy, Brie, was very jealous she couldn't have any! Poor girl!
That's not all folks! Here's the second dessert you can create with this delicious whipped cream!
COFFEE INFUSED SPONGE CAKE CHOCOLATE TRIFLE
This is another quick dessert you can make that utilizes the chocolate whipped cream and you just have to try it!
You mix up a quick coffee/espresso sauce to pour over the sponge cake. I love these little sponge cakes. I honestly always forget about them until I go to the grocery store and see them eyeing me as I pick out strawberries. "Oh yeah," I think, "Those make pretty great strawberry shortcakes... but ah... better not." Sometimes I give in to the little voice, and I'm always glad when I do.
Then just layer it with the chocolate whip! I did two layers and topped it with regular whipped cream (the canned stuff) and a strawberry! This was delicious! Almost like a tiramisu knock-off dessert.
Hope you will try and enjoy this lovely dessert!
Thanks for stopping by!
