Ok, so I've always wanted to make a whipped cream icing, but didn't realize it was this quick and easy.
I found this recipe online...as I always do, and it was totally delicious. We topped a german chocolate cake (the Duncan Hines kind) and it was SOOOOO good.
Easy recipe.
1 cup Whipping cream
1 1/2 TBSP Cocoa
2 1/2 TBSP castor sugar
1 tsp Vanilla (which I didn't use, because I haven't got any on hand)
Mix these ingredients together - I combined the cocoa and sugar first so that I would break up the cocoa first. I believe this helped in getting the cocoa to break down in the cream.
Then stir into the whipping cream with a spoon. Put bowl of mixture into the fridge along with the beaters to keep everything cold.
The recipe says to leave it in the fridge for an hour to allow the cocoa to break down, but we didn't want to wait that long to enjoy desert, so I waited 10 minutes and took it out and stirred it again. It seemed to completely broken down and blended in, but to be safe I left it for another 5 minutes before I took it out and applied the beaters.
I think combining he cocoa and sugar first was the right thing to do because this was a perfect 10. Sorry but I don't have a picture. The recipe says that it may separate after sitting in the fridge for a few hrs. Which means you may have to beat it again..
Just beat it! LOL
