I had some Heavy Whipping Cream leftover from the Chocolate Ganache, and although I would just like to down the entire pint, I think I had better do something else with it… So let’s make some homemade Whipped Cream.
You’ll need:
- 2 large mixing bowls
- Several trays of ice cubes
- One Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
- Vanilla Flavoring
- Sugar (to taste)
- A whisk, or a hand-mixer for when your arm completely tires out, like mine did.
Fill a large mixing bowl with the ice cubes, and set your second bowl on top. Add in the Heavy Whipping Cream, and whisk away. Then when your arm gets completely tired, and your kids come in 15 times asking what you are doing, switch to the hand mixer, and get the job done.
Much better, now whisk away.
Keep an eye on the Whipped Cream, and stop whisking when the whipped cream gets to a soft peak. Gently fold in a little vanilla, and add sugar to taste.
There you have it, homemade Whipped Cream. This would make a great topping for Strawberry Shortcake, or even Waffles. Mine is going on top of a Chocolate Pie, and hopefully I’ll have enough leftover for another dessert or two.
O.k., just one sip… I couldn’t resist!
Your kitties that always hang out in the kitchen would probably appreciate a little bit too.
