Critical Success Points

  • Prepare cocoa paste without lumps and with correct consistency.
  • Do not overmix the whipped topping to avoid a dense or grainy texture.
  • Adjust liquid additions carefully to avoid making the cream too runny.

Safety Warnings

  • Do not leave whipped cream at room temperature for more than 2 hours to prevent spoilage.
  • If using hot water, handle carefully to avoid burns.
