Signature Blend: powder mode x 1
- 4 ½ c (1050g) heavy cream
- ¾ c (150g) sugar
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream until it has thickened, but isn’t quite to soft peaks.
- Add the sugar, continuing to whisk until soft peaks form.
- When whipping the cream, whip it just before it becomes stiff.
- Top the hot chocolate with whipped cream.
- Dust with matcha powder.
Tips:
- Intensify the umami by making Signature matcha powder three times using the powder mode and whisking it with the whipped cream, like in the matcha mille-fuille crepes.
