3-Ingredient Chocolate Whipped Cream Cups

1. Chill your tools: To get the perfect whipped cream, start by chilling your mixing bowl and whisk (or hand mixer attachments) in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This helps the cream whip up better!

2. Mix the cocoa and sugar: In a small bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar to remove any lumps. This ensures a smooth chocolate flavor.

3. Whip the cream: Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Add the sifted cocoa and powdered sugar mixture to the cream.

4. Whip until fluffy: Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes, depending on your mixer. Be careful not to overwhip!

5. Serve: Spoon the fluffy chocolate whipped cream into small cups or bowls. You can also pipe it into individual dessert cups for a more elegant presentation.

Optional Garnishes (for a little extra touch):

• Grated chocolate or chocolate shavings

• A few fresh berries (strawberries or raspberries work well)

• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate syrup

• Crushed cookies or nuts for crunch

Enjoy!

This dessert is super simple, but it feels luxurious! You can even make it ahead of time, and it keeps well in the fridge for a day or two.

How do you feel about adding any extras or a twist to the recipe, like flavoring the whipped cream with vanilla or a dash of espresso powder?
