When I was a kid we usually just had cool-whip with our desserts, but sometimes my grandma would make her own Homemade Whipped Cream. If you’ve never had Homemade Whipped Cream you’re truly missing out on one of the easiest and yummiest treats.
I love recipes like this so much because it’s 3 simple ingredients but it turns into a sweet, fluffy treat that makes just about any dessert extra special.
Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it also tastes far superior to store-bought versions. Whether you’re topping a slice of pie, a bowl of fresh berries, or a steaming cup of hot cocoa, homemade whipped cream is sure to impress.
What is Homemade Whipped Cream?
Making whipped cream from scratch allows you to control the ingredients and flavor, avoiding the preservatives and stabilizers found in many commercial brands.
The result is a fresher, creamier, and more flavorful topping that can be customized to your liking.
Ingredients
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
How to make Homemade Whipped Cream
Put the metal or glass bowl of a stand mixer into the refrigerator to chill for an hour.
Add the whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl.
Use the wire whisk attachment, beat the ingredients together, beginning on low speed and increasing to high speed slowly as it starts to firm up.
Beat until stiff peaks form, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Serve with your favorite desserts.
