Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup quality cocoa powder or 100g melted chocolate
  • 1/3 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 eggs (optional, room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients; ensure heavy cream is chilled, measure cocoa powder or prepare melted chocolate carefully.
  2. Whip the Cream: Using a mixer, whip the heavy cream with a portion of the sugar until soft peaks form to create a light, fluffy base.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate or combine cocoa powder with melted butter, taking care not to overheat or burn.
  4. Combine Flavors: Fold the whipped cream gently into the chocolate mixture along with vanilla extract, preserving the airy texture.
  5. Chill and Set: Transfer the mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for best flavor.
  • Fold ingredients carefully to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
  • Chill thoroughly to enhance texture and flavor melding.
  • Taste and adjust sugar especially when working with cocoa or chocolate.
  • If using eggs, ensure they are at room temperature for better blending.
