For chocolate whipped
cream: Add the cocoa powder and additional sugar to
the above mixture and chill for at least one hour so the cocoa powder has time
to dissolve. Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
For raspberry whipped
cream: Make the whipped cream but beat only until soft peaks form.
Then add the sweetened puree, a little at a time, and beat just until stiff
peaks form when the beater is raised. Taste and fold in more sugar if required.
To make the
raspberry puree: (Print
Raspberry Puree Recipe) Place a large fine meshed strainer over a bowl
and thaw 1 - 12 ounce (340 grams) bag of unsweetened frozen raspberries.
This will take several hours. Gently press the berries to force all the
juice from the berries. All that should remain in the strainer is the
raspberry seeds. Add approximately 1/3 cup (66 grams) of granulated white
sugar (or to taste).
