Calories: 1071kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Beat the heavy cream on medium to high speed until it thickens in the bowl of a stand up mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Continue to beat until soft peaks start to form. This will take approximately 2-4 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Increase the speed to high and mix until stiff peaks form in the mixture.
- Pipe or spread the frosting on cake or cupcakes. Enjoy!
Notes
The frosting should be used right away as it is more stable once piped on the cake.
Once piped or spread on the cake or cupcakes, it will last up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
We do not recommend making this in advance. It is best used right away on desserts.
