Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until it starts to thicken.
- Once the cream has thickened slightly, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat, as this can turn the cream into butter.
- In a separate bowl, gently fold in the fresh raspberries into the whipped cream mixture. Be cautious to maintain the fluffiness of the whipped cream while incorporating the raspberries.
- Next, take a serving glass or shot glass and add a layer of the raspberry whipped cream mixture. Use a spoon or a piping bag for a more decorative touch.
- Sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips on top of the whipped cream layer in each glass.
- Repeat the layers of raspberry whipped cream and chocolate chips until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish each shot with a few whole raspberries and a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips
- Chill Your Cream: For the fluffiest whipped cream, make sure your heavy whipping cream is very cold before beating.
- Don't Overbeat: Stop whipping when soft peaks form to prevent turning your cream into butter.
- Gentle Folding: When adding raspberries, use a light hand to maintain the cream's airy texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Use clear shot glasses or mini dessert glasses to showcase the beautiful layers.
- Make Ahead: Prepare these shots up to 30 minutes in advance and refrigerate for a quick and impressive dessert.
- Variation Tip: For a more intense flavor, lightly crush some raspberries before folding them into the cream.
- Chocolate Hack: Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution in each shot.
