Instructions
  1. Clean your berries and cut them if desired.
  2. Pour the cold whipping cream into a cold, clean mixing bowl. Add the cocoa powder and syrup. Start beating on low until mixed well, then slowly increase speed so you don’t get splashes of cream all over. Once you’ve worked your way up to high speed, just let it be until stiff peaks form.
  3. Divide your berries into bowls. Top with generous dollops of the cocoa cream. Zest a bit of orange or tangerine over the top.
Recipe Notes

A tip for making the whipped cream:

Sometimes people have a hard time getting whipping cream to whip up right. I have found two key tips that help more than anything.

1- Make sure your bowl and beater pieces are clean. Super clean. Don’t touch the inside of the bowl and get your finger oils on it.

2- Chill the bowl ahead of time. I often forget to plan ahead and I will just stick my bowl in the freezer before I start cleaning the berries. The cold helps the molecules in the whipping cream stay together and hold air.  Make sure your whipping cream is cold too.
