You never know what you will need to know how to make Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Whipped Cream.
I could easily snack on this as is, without topping something else with it.
Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Whipped Cream
I can't get over just how easy this is to make!
Also, I can think of about a million ways to serve this. Chocolate whipped cream is something that can go with so many other items. Or, you could choose to eat it alone...
The biggest worry about this recipe is whether to use 'whipping cream' or 'heavy cream'.
You probably never thought about the difference between the two creams. And for good reason as they are both similar in a lot of ways. However, they do differ in their fat content. While heavy cream has over 35% fat content, whipping cream is at around 30%. Thus, if you are looking to cut out some fat then you can choose the whipping cream. But, if you are a fan of a richer and thicker whipped topping, then you can go with the heavy creme.

While this is a relatively simple recipe to make, it should be noted that there are a couple of important things to remember to do. The first would be to use a beater attachment on an electric mixer. You will save yourself a lot of trouble if you use a stand mixer as well. Also, this homemade sugar free chocolate whipped cream should be served as soon as possible in order to enjoy it peaked (and before it begins to fall).

Some people recommend using a bowl and beater attachments that have been chilled prior to making this.
Another option would be to combine the ingredients in a bowl and set the bowl in your refrigerator for a half hour before beating. I kind of like the second idea because it allows me to prepare this in advance and beat the ingredients while I begin serving whatever I am going to be serving this with.
