Instructions
- Transform heavy cream into a billowy cloud using an electric mixer, whisking until soft, voluminous peaks emerge effortlessly.
- Delicately sift rich cocoa powder and powdered erythritol into the whipped cream’s airy landscape, introducing vanilla extract and a subtle salt accent for depth.
- Elevate the mixture with continuous medium-speed whipping, cultivating stiff, luxurious peaks while maintaining a vigilant eye to prevent potential curdling.

Notes
- Whip cream at a cold temperature to achieve maximum volume and stability, ensuring your peaks are light and fluffy.
- Use a chilled mixing bowl and beaters to help the cream whip faster and maintain its structure during preparation.
- Experiment with different keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia for varied flavor profiles without adding carbohydrates.
- For a richer chocolate experience, try incorporating melted sugar-free dark chocolate into the mixture for deeper, more intense flavor notes.
