- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Mix-ins:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries, halved
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth.
