Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a food processor, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Secure the lid of the food processor and blend on high speed until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stop the food processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. This will ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Secure the lid again and blend for an additional 30 seconds to a minute, until the frosting reaches a desired consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as the cream may become grainy.
  5. Once the frosting is ready, transfer it to a piping bag or simply spread it onto your cake or dessert with a spatula.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
