Chocolate Whipped Cream

Chocolate Whipped Cream


DifficultyBeginner

You need this simple chocolate whipped cream recipe in your life! It’s an easy chocolate whipped cream frosting, but unlike regular whipped cream I’ve added a little gelatin, which makes it more stabilised so you can easily pipe it or rocher it.

It’s a super simple recipe with only 3 ingredients – no cocoa powder or vanilla extract in sight!

I haven’t added any sugar or flavourings to my recipe, but if you fancy something a little sweeter you can add what you fancy.

Try this classic whipped cream on your next cake – it makes the perfect fresh chocolate cream! Just be careful not to over whip it, you don’t want to whisk it until stiff peaks form, just medium peaks!
