2.5 cups whipped cream

Method:
Cherries cooked in sugar syrup
1) Take a small pan. Add water and sugar. Mix and put the pan on fire. Wait till the sugar dissolves and melts. Add cherries and cook over low heat until cherries start leaving juice and becomes little soft. After finishing, drain and reserve the juice, if any. Transfer cherries into a bowl.
Chocolate flavored whipped cream
2) Take a big bowl filled with chilled water. Take another medium sized bowl. Add whipped cream, sugar and coco powder in it. Hold the bowl in the cold water so that cream will stay chilled. Do not push the bowl hard in the water. Otherwise water will enter and mix in with whipped cream. Whisk well until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate till you are ready to serve.
