5-Minute Creamy Chocolate Dessert
Ingredients
-
1 cup heavy cream (or chilled whipping cream)
-
2 tbsp cocoa powder
-
2–3 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
Crushed biscuits, cookies, or chocolate (optional topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Cream
In a bowl, add the cold cream. Using a whisk or fork, beat vigorously for 1–2 minutes until it thickens slightly. You don’t need stiff peaks—just a soft, creamy texture.
Step 2: Add Flavor
Add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and fully combined. The mixture should be creamy, rich, and chocolatey.
Step 3: Serve
Spoon into serving cups or bowls. Top with crushed biscuits, chocolate shavings, or nuts if you like.
That’s it. Your dessert is ready.
