Keto Chocolate Whipped Cream

It’s superb with fresh berries or you could use it as frosting for cakes and cupcakes. I’m a whipped cream connoisseur. Did I tell you about the time, years ago, when all I wanted for dessert in a nice restaurant was a bowl of whipped cream? I was too shy to ask, but my husband, bless his soul, asked for me. They were happy to oblige! This keto chocolate whipped cream is so easy to make, and it’s delicious. It’s such a nice variation on regular keto whipped cream. I love it as a dip for fresh strawberries. It’s also excellent as frosting.

Ingredients

You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty treat. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Heavy whipping cream: You can use one without any gums or thickeners, but do make sure it’s labeled as “whipping” cream. Vanilla extract: Sometimes I use a tablespoon of brandy instead, as shown in the video. If you use vanilla extract, it’s best to use the real thing and not the artificially flavored stuff. Sweetener: I use stevia. You can use a powdered sweetener instead if you’d like. Unsweetened cocoa powder: It’s best to use Dutch-processed cocoa powder in this recipe. It’s milder and less acidic than natural cocoa powder.

Instructions

You can make this chocolate whipped cream right in your food processor! The food processor makes excellent, thick whipped cream - no elbow grease required. Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps - there are just two of them: You simply place all the ingredients, in no particular order, in your food processor bowl. Then, you process them into whipped cream. This should take about one minute. That’s it!

Expert tip

It’s super easy to use the food processor in this recipe. But since it’s so efficient, do keep an eye on it and try to avoid over-whipping. If you do over-whip and end up with thick chocolate butter 😂, try whisking in 2 more tablespoons of heavy cream.
