Ingredients

• Heavy Whipping Cream - Cold heavy whipping cream is the base of homemade whipped cream It contains at least 30% fat content, which allows it to form stiff peaks when whipped. Use organic heavy whipping cream for the best quality product.
• Sugar - Granulated sugar adds sweetness.

Variations

• Vanilla - Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste to the heavy whipping cream and sugar. Then whip to add a vanilla flavor to the whipped cream.
• Flavored Extracts - Add a half teaspoon of flavored extracts, like peppermint, to make flavored whipped cream.
• Chocolate - Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to make the whipped cream chocolatey.
• Cinnamon - sprinkle some cinnamon on the whipped cream for a final warm touch.

2. Whip the Ingredients - Then, place the sugar and heavy whipping cream in the chilled mixing bowl and whisk by hand or by electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

What to Serve with Easy Whipped Cream

This versatile whipped cream goes with so many dishes! Whip up a batch of whipped cream for strawberry shortcake or a tart. In the morning, it goes perfectly with Brioche French Toast with Berries, a skillet cookie, or Baileys Hot Chocolate.

Equipment

You can make this easy whipped cream recipe by hand in a mixing bowl and whisk, a handheld electric mixer, or an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Making whipped cream by hand is a bit of an arm workout and the electric mixer only takes a couple of minutes, but both methods work.

Storage

Refrigerate whipped cream in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Do not freeze.

Top tips

• Don't over mix the cream - Be careful to not over mix or the cream will become lumpy. We remember the first couple of times we made whipped cream, the cream separated from over-mixing and we had to start over. We all start somewhere!
