For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup and filling the rest with milk to equal 3/4 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. The whiskey whipped cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Feel free to experiment with different types of stout beer or whiskey to customize the flavor to your liking. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the whiskey with vanilla extract or a coffee-flavored liqueur.
