A simple and quick recipe to make light and fluffy whipped cream at home using heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract for optional flavor. Perfect for topping desserts or drinks.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (powdered sugar or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine. Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, mix on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. For stiffer peaks, continue mixing a little longer.
  2. Serve. Serve the whipped cream immediately, or cover and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours to use later. Enjoy as a topping for desserts or drinks.

Notes

  • Ensure heavy cream is chilled for best whipping results.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener according to taste.
  • Vanilla extract is optional but adds a nice flavor enhancement.
  • Whipped cream is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • If using maple syrup, note the slight flavor difference compared to powdered sugar.
