What is an easy recipe for Chocolate flavored Whipped Topping?

Question

I've used cocoa powder, the taste is barely there (am i not putting enough?) and it looks kind of light for a chocolate color when whipped up; like a dark beige.

I'm looking for a recipe that gives you more of that chocolate taste and a bit darker color. Will Chocolate syrup for ice cream work better?? =]

Or in other words, is there anyway to achieve the chocolate color on like the color of chocolate frosting and keeping the flavor light?

Answer 1

You should just buy the Chocolate Reddi Whip Cream, it's sold at any grocery store & already made!

Answer 2

Ingredients

8 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoon sugar

Directions

1. Using a serrated knife, finely chop the chocolate into 1/4 inch pieces and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.

2. Bring the cream and the sugar, if using, to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Tap the bowl on the counter to settle the chocolate into the cream, then let it sit for 1 minute.

Using a rubber spatula, slowly stir in a circular motion, starting from the center of the bowl and working out to the sides. Stir until all the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes.

3. Pour the ganache into a medium container, cover it, and refrigerate it for 4 hours or overnight. It should be the consistency of peanut butter.

4. Once the ganache has chilled, transfer it to a large bowl. Using a balloon whisk, whip the ganache by hand until it just reaches soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Be sure to lift the whisk out of the cream with each pass to bring in as much air as possible. Do not overwhip. Don't worry if the cream doesn't seem firm enough. It will have the consistency of mustard but will solidify a little more after it sets in the refrigerator. You can also use a hand mixer.

Here is a tatsy one that is very quick and very rich, I highly recommend it!

At the Supermarket, look for somehting called "Dream Whip", which is a powdered whip cream that you can buy in chocolate flavor. Mix as directed on the box.

Then melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, mix with the dream whip thoroughly and Enjoy!

note: you can mix chocolate pudding with the powder as you prepare the dream whip for an extra choclatey, thick cream.
