Enjoy this easy tutorial on How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream from scratch using just one ingredient – heavy whipping cream! Healthier than store-bought!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Optional Ingredients for Vanilla Whipped Cream

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder

Instructions

  1. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer (I have this one), or into a large deep bowl if you plan to use a hand mixer.
  2. Set the mixer on the high speed and beat the whipping cream until it begins to look more solid than liquid.
  3. If you’re using flavors, turn the mixer off and add them at this time.**
  4. Continue beating until the whipping cream resembles stiff peaks when the attachment is pulled out of the whipped cream. Be careful not to over-beat the whipping cream. If you do, the whipped cream will lose it’s structure and not be as stiff.

Notes

** It’s perfectly fine and delicious to flavor homemade whipped cream, but remember the more ingredients you add, the heavier the cream will be and the harder it is to whip enough air into it. Err on the side of caution, especially with heavy liquids like honey and maple syrup.
