FAQs
How long does the frosting last?
The chocolate whipped cream frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to cover it well to prevent it from absorbing odors.
How do I achieve stiff peaks?
Whip the cream on medium-high speed until it thickens and forms peaks that hold their shape. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn grainy.
Can I mix in other ingredients like crushed cookies or nuts?
Yes! You can fold in crushed cookies, nuts, or other mix-ins to add texture and flavor to your frosting.
