How to Make Chocolate Whipped Cream Icing

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly chilled. This is crucial for achieving stiff peaks.
  3. Once chilled, use an electric mixer to beat the chocolate mixture on medium speed. Gradually add 2 cups heavy cream while beating continuously. Add 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Frost your favorite cake (angel food cake recommended!) and enjoy!
