Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, bring to room temperature and re-whip to restore its creamy texture.

For an even richer chocolate flavor, try using dark cocoa powder.
If you don't have confectioners' sugar, you can make your own by grinding granulated sugar in a high-speed blender or food processor until it reaches a powdery consistency.
A pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavor and balance the sweetness.
To make a mocha version, add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder along with the cocoa powder.
