Ingredients Needed to Make Homemade Whipped Cream…

You only need these 3 ingredients:

1. whipping cream or heavy cream: should be very cold/chilled.
2. vanilla extract: this is a must for flavoring.
3. powdered sugar: to sweeten the flavor and help thicken the cream.

How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream (step-by-step)…

1. THE CREAM: It’s important to have the cream already chilled in the refrigerator. It has to be cold.

2. THE BOWLS: You will need two stainless steel bowls, one to fill with ice cubes and the other to sit on top of the ice. This will allow you to make whipped cream quickly and easily, without any downtime.

Now, if your have everything you need – let’s get started!

Step 1: PREPARE The BOWLS…

Fill the bottom of one bowl with some ice and a splash of water; it can be ice cubes or crushed ice. Just place the second mixing bowl in the bowl that contains part ice and some water.

Step 2: BLEND THE CREAM…

Pour one cup of whipping cream or heavy cream into your bowl. Use a hand-held blender to start blending the cream on medium speed, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cream starts to thicken.

Step 3: ADD THE SUGAR AND EXTRACT…

Add in the powdered sugar and extract. Blend on high speed for at least 3 minutes, until the cream forms thick peaks. Transfer the whipped cream into a serving bowl.

Step 4: TO STORE and CHILL…

Cover with clear wrap and chill it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it up with your favorite desserts or dollop on top of your morning’s latte.

Tips for Making Homemade Whipped Cream…

• When you first blend the cream, start on a lower speed, or on medium speed. This will allow the cream to slightly thicken after a few minutes of blending, and this will prevent the cream from splashing out of the bowl, creating a mess.

• After the cream starts to thicken, then you can raise the speed to HIGH, while blending.
• It’s best to use stainless steel mixing bowls because they will keep the liquid even colder while blending.
• One cup of whipping cream will yield about 3 cups of homemade whipped cream.
• If need a larger amount of whipped cream, then double the ingredients.
• If the cream softens after one day, you can once again whip it for a few minutes and bring it back to the thick creamy consistency.

Questions and Answers…

1.Can we make dairy-free whipped cream?

Yes, you can. But we recommend you use “Coconut Cream” and not coconut milk beverages. Then follow the same recipe.

2. Can we make it ahead?

Yes, you can make it at least 24 hours ahead. Store it in a bowl, and seal it with clear wrap and keep it chilled in the fridge.

3. How to store whipped cream?

Cover with clear wrap and keep it chilled until you are ready to serve it. It is best to consume the cream within 24 hours, otherwise, it will softened.

4. Can we freeze whipped cream?

I would not recommend it. Since it is freshly made, when it thaws it will lose much of its consistency.
