# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chocolate cream floats like a decadent cloud and adds the perfect sweet richness to your cold brew.
  • This drink takes just a few minutes but makes any ordinary afternoon feel special.
02 -
  • Whipping the cream for too long turns it stiff and less dreamy—keep a close eye on soft peaks.
  • I discovered that using colder cream makes a huge difference; warmth causes the cream to flop rather than float beautifully.
03 -
  • If your cream won&39;t whip, it may be too warm—place it in the fridge for a few extra minutes.
  • Sneak a little cocoa powder into the cream before whipping for even richer flavor.
