Whipped Cream 101

It’s no surprise we love dessert here and so many of our treats call for the same ingredient – whipped cream! Yes, you can buy it from the store, but today we are here to show just how simple it is to make at home AND just how much it tastes better. (Be sure to check out all of our Tips and Tricks for whipped cream at the bottom of the post). Whipped cream is a standard when talking about desserts (like our Cream Puff Cake, Dirt Cake Recipe and Easy Strawberry Shortcake), and we hope this recipe becomes a standard in your own home.

Ingredients

PREP TIME: 15 minutes

2 cups heavy whipping cream – for a dairy-free whipped cream recipe replace with a can of full-fat coconut milk. Use just the solidified coconut fat at the top of the can not the liquid at the bottom. The cream can be whipped into a smooth, creamy topping. 4 tablespoons powdered sugar – aka confectioners’ sugar. For a smooth texture, I suggest sifting it before using it in the recipe. Do not use granulated sugar. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – use different flavors like almond extract, peppermint, extract or orange extract. Use less than 2 teaspoons or the flavor may be too overwhelming.
