Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Chill a metal mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk) in the freezer 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sift cocoa and powdered sugar into the cold bowl. Add cream, vanilla, and salt.

  3. 3

    Whip on medium-high until soft peaks form, 2–3 minutes—when you lift the beater, the peak should flop gently. Stop before it turns grainy or butter-like.

  4. 4

    Use right away, or refrigerate up to a day; rewhip briefly if it loosens.
