Notes

  • Note that the amount of heavy whipping cream you use will double in volume in this recipe. Therefore, if you need 2 cups of whipped cream, you will use 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
  • Stabilized Whipped Cream: For stabilized whipped cream that will hold longer in the refrigerator, add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to your fresh whipping cream and the confectioner's sugar. 
  • How To Freeze Whipped Cream: Place large spoonfuls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flash freeze. Once the whipped cream is frozen, you can then place it in freezer-safe containers and freeze it. When ready to use, thaw for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whipped Cream Flavor Variations:
  • How to Recover: If overmixed, whipped cream will curdle and become lumpy. Slowly fold in 1 tablespoon at a time of fresh, liquid, heavy whipping cream with a rubber spatula until the lumps in the whipped cream disappear.
  • Honey - Replace the sugar with honey
  • Maple - Replace the sugar with maple syrup
  • Cinnamon - Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • Coconut - Use 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract.
  • Chocolate Whipped Cream - Whisk three tablespoons of cocoa powder with the sugar and follow the recipe as written above.
  • Strawberry Whipped Cream  - Make the recipe above until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup chilled strawberry jam or puree and beat until medium peaks form again. If not using immediately, store, covered, in the refrigerator.
