Tips
- Dutch-process cocoa gives the darkest color and the smoothest chocolate flavor.
- Dry cocoa lumps will not dissolve once the milk is in, so whisk the paste until smooth first.
- If the Swirl Press pulls back by itself or nothing comes out, run Re-spin and try again.

Why it works
Cocoa solids soak up water and firm up the base, so it needs a little more sugar than vanilla to stay soft enough to pipe.
