The Best Ever Whipped Cream
Learn how to make The Best Ever Whipped Cream from scratch – so easy to make and it tastes delicious every time! So much better than store-bought.
We know it is easy to use the stuff in a can, but homemade tastes so much better! This really is The Best Ever Whipped Cream (and the easiest too.) Light and creamy with just a touch of vanilla flavor. Yum, yum! So next time your dessert is crying out for a topping, grab your mixer and this recipe … you won’t be sorry.
Ingredients you will need
- Heavy Whipping Cream: For the best whipped cream possible you should use Heavy Whipping Cream. Regular Whipping Cream takes longer to whip up and doesn’t hold its shape as long as Whipped Cream made from Heavy Whipping Cream.
- Vanilla Extract: we add a little splash for extra flavor.
- Sugar: You will need Powered Sugar to sweeten the Whipped Cream. Add somewhere between 1-3 tablespoons depending on how sweet you want your Whipped Cream to turn out.
How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes before using. Your whipping cream will whip up better in the cold bowl!
- Pour very cold Heavy Whipping Cream into a mixing bowl.
- Add the Vanilla Extract.
- Add Powdered Sugar to taste.
- Whip on low until the Whipping Cream, Vanilla and Powdered Sugar are combined.
- Whip on high for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks are formed.
How much Whipped Cream does this recipe make?
This recipe will make anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 cups of Whipped Cream which should be plenty for steaming cups of hot chocolate for your family or as a topping for your homemade pie. If you need more, you might want to double the recipe.
How to Store/Freeze
Whipped Cream is one of those things that taste best just after it has been made. It should stay light and creamy for about 30 minutes but if you will be serving your dessert any longer than that you should wait and make it right before serving.
You can freeze your left-over whipped cream though. Create some dollops and pop them in the freezer. Once frozen, place them in an air-tight container until you need a dollop of Whipped Cream.
