Homemade Whipped Cream
Light and creamy Homemade Whipped Cream is the perfect complement to all your favorite desserts. It’s the same recipe as I used in my Ultimate Banana Pudding recipe. It’s also perfect to use on top of my Two Ingredient Chocolate Mousse.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Whipped cream is a popular topping that has been around since the 16th century! It used to be called ‘milk snow’ and to make it, you would use a branch to whip the cream (not recommended). Um, I will just stick to an electronic mixer, thank you. Once you make the whipped cream, why not try to beat the tallest dollop of whipped cream on a mug of hot chocolate? Currently, the record is 7 1/4 inches tall. Good luck, and let me know how it goes😀!
Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe
With just TWO ingredients, you can make your own light and creamy whipped cream topping. Just make sure the heavy whipping cream is cold to get the best results.
Ingredients
- Heavy whipping cream (Using a lower fat cream or milk will not whip as well; the end result would be a more unstable form.)
- Confectioners’ sugar
How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream
- Don’t aim for “stiff peaks”. You want the whipped cream to keep its shape and be soft, billowing peaks. If by chance you OVERBEAT the whipped cream (I have done this and cried!) fixing it is actually very easy. Simply add in more fresh heavy whipping cream and whisk by hand. My life was changed when I found that out!
- Wait until peaks start to form before adding in the confectioners’ sugar. I much prefer confectioners sugar in this recipe, as it dissolves entirely and leaves a smooth texture. If you choose to use granulated sugar be sure to add it immediately at the beginning and whip it with the cream.
- Homemade whipped cream is best used immediately, but it can be stored for up to 10 hours if needed. After that, it may start to separate. But, did you know you can freeze whipped cream? Well, I am here to tell you that you can!
