Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream 1 pint (very cold), the higher the fat % the better, do not use any fat free substitutes here.
- 2-4 tablespoons powdered sugar regular or powdered sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Freeze bowl for 15 minutes prior to pouring in heavy whipping cream.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in heavy whipping cream and attach whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- With the mixer on low, add in the powdered sugar a little at a time. Keep in mind if you are using it in a recipe that already has a lot of sugar, you can cut back on the sugar, just add to your taste.
- Add the vanilla extract and whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. The key is in the whipping, you want to whip it until it's super thick, right before the butter stage, which will stabilize it. Watch it; it can go from whipped cream to butter in a jiffy. Store in the fridge until ready to use, best within the first 30-60 minutes of whipping. However; it's stayed stable for me for days in a cold fridge, in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes prior to using.

- Stiffly whipped cream will last covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days, this stable whipped cream might last a day or two longer in refrigerators that keep foods colder. Store in an airtight container so it doesn't absorb fridge smells.
- Can you freeze whipped cream? Yes, you sure can; this is a great way to use leftover whipped cream.
- If you plan on using it for a recipe, I would not recommend freezing it, make fresh whipped cream.
- However, if you want to use leftover whipped cream, then line a tray with parchment or silpat and spoon or pipe dollops of whipped cream onto the tray. Freeze for one hour, then peel and store in an airtight container.
- parchment
- Frozen whipped cream is great to use on hot drinks like hot chocolate, coffee, white hot chocolate, or this Hot Buttered Rum, or even on top of a warm piece of pie or cake.
- To keep the whip cream from splattering everywhere, place a clean tea towel over the electric mixer or cut a hole in the center of a paper plate and place around the whisk attachment on the electric hand mixer and on top of the large mixing bowl.
- Use cup for cup in recipes that use store bought Cool Whip, as a substitute, this is my favorite way to use it
- Chill your bowl! For best results place the mixer bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes before you start whipping and make sure your whipped cream is really cold.
- Immediately store this healthy Cool Whip substitute in the fridge, this is the best way keep regular whipped cream.
- Stable whipped cream is perfect when used in a pastry bag with an icing tip, super easy recipe to use for the budding cake decorator.
