Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Add the cold heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for best whipping results.
Do not overwhip or the frosting may turn grainy or into butter.
Can be stabilized by adding 1 tbsp of instant pudding mix or 1 tsp gelatin dissolved in water.
