Preparation

Step 1

Pour the heavy whipping cream, sugar,cocoa and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl, and whisk using a large balloon whisk. I used my KitchenAid mixer and whisked on high approximately for 3–5 minutes, until the cream reaches the soft peak stage. If I did this by hand it would take me a little longer that 3 minutes that is for sure.

You can test for soft peaks by lifting the whisk straight out of the bowl and checking to see if the peak falls if it does, whisk for a bit longer. I like my peaks a little stiffer than soft so I have tendency to mix it for a minute longer, I like this before I like the look on pies and cakes. If I were to make it for hot chocolate I would do softer peaks.
