Easy 2-Ingredient Whipped Cream

Easy 2-Ingredient Whipped Cream is a tasty, simple recipe that is a perfect addition to any dessert. It only takes two ingredients and a few minutes to whip up a batch of this fresh cream that tastes much better than any store-bought canned whipped cream.

The Perfect Homemade Whipped Cream

Homemade whipped cream is a simple, thoughtful addition you can add to a dessert. It's tastier and doesn't have all of the additives that store-bought canned whipped cream has. Whip up a batch of whipped cream for strawberry shortcake or galettes. In the morning, it goes perfectly with Brioche French Toast with Berries or freshly baked biscuits and jam.

Ingredients

• Heavy Whipping Cream - Chilled 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 - Sugar adds a sweetness to the whipped cream.

How to Make Easy 2-Ingredient Whipped Cream

1. Chill the Mixing Bowl - First, place a glass or metal mixing bowl in the freezer. Freezing the bowl will allow the cream to stay cold and stable.
2. Whip the Ingredients - Then, place the sugar and heavy whipping cream in the bowl and whisk by hand or by electric mixer.

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 cream.
• Chocolate - Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to make the whipped cream chocolatey.

Equipment

You can make this easy whipped cream by hand in a mixing bowl and whisk, a handheld electric mixer, or an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Making the 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 in an airtight container, good for 2 days. Do not freeze.

Top tip

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