Chocolate Whipped Cream

Instead of buying a mini container of ice cream (I prefer Haagen-Daaz myself on a cheat day), I decided to come up with a healthy dessert that would satisfy my need for ice cream.  I ended up going with a thick chocolate whipped cream. 

Recipe -

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar or 1 tsp powdered sugar replacement (Truvia is what I use in specific)
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
• vanilla extract to taste

Steps -

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, whisk together violently.  
2. Stop whisking when you have stiff peaks on the whipped cream.
3. Spoon out and serve.

Optional - Dust the plate with a small amount of powdered sugar.

200 Calories with powdered stevia, I do think that there should be some carb and protein since it is milk, but the carton shows 0g at the small serving size.

This whipped cream has a nice thick consistency, and works great to share with someone.  A little goes a long way, and eating this entire recipe by yourself can be a bit too much unless you love whipped cream.

If you find you need to add a little sweetness, I prefer to dust some powdered sugar over the top.  You'll need to use less to increase the perceived sweetness.
