Mocha whipped creamy if fluffy and delicious. It is flavored with coffee and chocolate, making it wonderful on its own, but put it on top of your favorite desserts to take them to the next level.
This mocha whipped cream is all of the best parts of your favorite expensive coffee drinks in whipped cream form. In fact, I think there is more coffee flavor in this whipped cream than there is in a mocha and one of those places!
You will be amazed how much coffee and chocolate punch this packs while still being a light and fluffy whipped cream.
Flavored Whipped Creams
As much as I love frosting, it isn’t a big leap to assume I love whipped cream too. And I do!
For the longest time I thought there was only kind of whipped cream…. whipped cream!
A little vanilla a tiny bit of sugar and you are in business. Then my eyes were opened to a whole new world.
MiMi made maple whipped cream for her pumpkin slab pie. I made a chocolate whipped cream which is delicious on just about anything.

I even made horseradish whipped cream for our prime rib feast on New Year’s. But this version has the most flavor yet!
It is bursting with coffee and chocolate flavors. It isn’t overly sweet, but you could certainly increase the sugar some if you’d like it a bit sweeter.
You are just going to have to try it to believe it!
What to Serve With Mocha Whipped Cream
It is also absolutely fabulous as a frosting on coffee sponge cake. That cake is the perfect dessert for a grown up party.
We have also used it to top brownie chunk cheesecake. But really it would be great on any chocolate or coffee flavored dessert.
It isn’t too sweet and tastes like a coffeehouse drink in cake form!
You can also use it on a coffee angel food cake if you aren’t in the mood to make mocha ermine frosting. The two can be used interchangeably in so many tasty applications.

Love this recipe! Paired it with a mocha cake and it was definitely a crowd favourite.
I am so glad you liked it!
Hi,
Does this frosting hold up (structurally) as a filling between cake layers?
I used it between layers of sponge of my coffee and cream cake and it did well. Just keep the layer relatively thin. If you plan on using it with buttercream, I would make a frosting dam around the edges of the cake to keep it from oozing out. Then keep in mind you will want to refrigerate the cake when you are done.
@Carlee, Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to trying it!
Hello! How does this hold up on a cake? Is it more of a whip, frost cake, and serve same day; or can I frost and serve the next day? Thank you so much!
It holds up pretty well, just make sure to keep it refrigerated!
Hello mam! Where can i find your mocha cake full recipe? TIA
Here’s the link. I hope you enjoy it!
Hello! I'm eager to try this. Is the instant coffee ingredient just the powdered coffee, or a tablespoon of cooled, liquid instant coffee?
Just the powdered coffee. I hope you enjoy it!!
We make mocha every morning. Grind the coffee beans then add to french press with hot water. While this is extracting with add 70+% fine quality combination chocolate nibs and disks to a large glass measuring bowl, then add boiling water and stir well with hand whisker to melt all the chocolate, in 2 years of doing this the chocolate has never "seized", always comes out velvety smooth. Then combine chocolate and coffee mixtures in a milk frother for the yummiest mocha ever. After reading your recipe I will reserve some of my mocha mixture to add to my home made basic whipped cream whip cream. Sounds divine. Thanks for sharing.
This recipe is awful. If you add water to Chocolate the chocolate seizes.
While you do have to be careful when doing a water bath etc. you can in fact add water to chocolate. There are actually recipes making "chocolate mousse" using only chocolate and water. I've also seen a Swiss method of making mousse that starts with melting chocolate with water from a tea kettle. I'm sure there are a lots chemical reasons for why some things work and others don't. I just know this has worked for me every time I've done it.
This sounds like my type of frosting! I can just imagine it on a chocolate cupcake, yum!
Mine too, fluffy and full of flavor! It would be perfect on a chocolate cupcake!
Oh yum! This sounds sinful. I'm all about the mocha!
It is definitely sinful and sooo good!
I'll take a bowl of this and a spoon please!
I know, right?! I totally make this when nobody else is around so the beater and bowl are mine!
@Big Rigs 'n Lil' Cookies, that’s what I’ve done a few (too many) times meself, jus plop down on me couch with some cinnamon graham crackers small batch of this an jus munch away the night!!
