How to Make Chocolate Whipped Cream Using Nangs

Is there a person alive who doesn’t LOVE chocolate?

Probably not. Chocolate is almost unskippable for anyone with a sweet tooth. It also helps make chocolate whipped cream! And it’s also one of the most simple chocolate and heavy cream recipes out there.

Owing to its versatility, chocolate whipped cream can be used in a variety of dishes ranging from cakes, pastries and… you can enjoy it all by itself too!

Let’s make chocolate whipped cream at home:

Ingredients

Making chocolate whipped cream is simple. You only need 4 ingredients for a heavenly taste of chocolaty goodness!

Granulated Sugar –

Granulated sugar (out of all the other forms of sugar) works best for making whipped cream.

Also, it helps balance the overall sweetness while still helping maintain the original flavor of chocolate itself. Try brown sugar if you’re looking for a healthier alternative.

Heavy Cream –

Heavy cream is the soul of the cream. Use chilled heavy cream of the finest quality. A high fat content works best. Don’t stress too much about the fat content though, you will eventually get a good texture with a high enough fat percentage.

Cocoa Powder –

The intensity of the cocoa powder will define the flavor of the whipping cream. Use a more intense cocoa powder like Dutch process (if you’re a dark chocolate fan). Use regular cocoa powder for a lighter flavor.

Vanilla Extract –

Vanilla extract adds the perfect balance. Use it to equalize the chocolate flavor, resulting in a more developed taste. Though, add only a teeny bit of it. You don’t want it to overpower your cream.  

Recipe for chocolate whipped cream

Once you’ve got all the ingredients, let’s move on to the action – whipping up tasty chocolate whipped cream! You can also use nangs to make whipped cream through a cream charger. Check out our ‘How to use cream chargers in your kitchens’ blog to know how to do exactly that!

Here are the quantities that you’ll require for the ingredients:

· 2 tbsp granulated sugar

· 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

· 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

· 1 cup chilled heavy cream

1. Prep the bowl
For prepping, place the bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. A cold bowl will stabilize the cream for a more efficient whip. You don’t want runny cream, right?

2. Combine the dry ingredients
Then, sift the granulated sugar and cocoa powder together in another bowl. This step is overlooked, but it is essential that you don’t have any lumps at the end. This leads to a super-smooth whipping experience.

3. Start whipping
Pour the cold cream into the chilled bowl. Use either a hand mixer/stand mixer on a medium speed setting. Begin whipping the cream until it thickens. By the way, this process can be made even easier if you use nangs for this process, whipping through a cream charger.

4. Add flavor
Here’s where you add the magic. Add the sifted sugar and the cocoa powder blend. Following this, add in the vanilla extract now.

5. Whip to stiff peaks
Continue whipping the mixture until stiff peaks form. The cream must be fluffy at the end. It should retain shape even if the beaters are lifted. Bear in mind that you don’t over-whip. You don’t want a buttery texture, right?

6. Serve or store
After whipping, the cream can be used right away. And if you would like to store it, transfer it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
