Notes

*If making this vegan, be sure to use dairy-free chocolate.

**I made chocolate whipped cream by adding 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder to this recipe for homemade whipped cream. You could also do the same with this recipe for coconut whipped cream (vegan). Or…you could leave out the cocoa and just make traditional whipped cream or coconut whipped cream. :)
