What? You have never had hot out of the oven chocolate chip cookies smothered in fresh whipped cream? It is, without question, one of the finest of desserts. Perhaps it isn't especially elegant, although, if you wish to add a touch of sophistication you may eat it with a fork. Which is actually a rather practical way to eat a cookie straight from the oven, being hot and soft and crumbly. Or load up a plateful, stick a bowl of fresh whipped cream in the middle of the table, and have the family gather around dipping and eating a bit of chocolate chip heaven.
Two notes on this: Use semi-sweet chocolate chips, as the cookie has enough sweet to make up for the chocolate. And make the whipped cream lightly sweet, enough to taste, but light enough that cream is tasted and not just sweetness. Again, the cookie is sweet enough, with the whipped cream simply providing it's own rich flavor. It's a wonderful experience to taste the ingredients that make up the dessert and not just tasting over the top sweetness. Oh, and one more tip. Place the bowl and beater in the freezer for several minutes prior to whipping, and you'll get better, faster results.
