Chocolate Whipped Cream Recipe

Eileen Gray
What's better than whipped cream? Chocolate whipped cream! Use it to fill cake layers or as a topping for ice cream or hot chocolate.
Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings:12 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces semi sweet chocolate (chopped)
  • 16 ounces heavy cream (2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
  • 2 ounces confectioner sugar (½ cup)

Instructions

  • In a microwave safe bowl heat the chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted. Set the chocolate aside to cool. You want the chocolate to be barely room temperature. Not very hot but not beginning to set either.
  • Whip the cream with the rum and confectioners sugar to soft peak. Whisk 1 cup of the cream into the chocolate until it's completely combined. With the mixer running on low, add the chocolate cream back into the bowl. Increase the speed to high and whisk until the cream is at full peak.
  • If you're using the cream in a cake or other dessert, pipe or spread the cream as soon as it's mixed. It will firm up as it chills.
  • Refrigerate until serving.
