If you’ve never made homemade whipped cream, you’re missing out, and it’s a LOT easier than you might think. Here’s fun fall version of the classic whipped cream that we think is perfect for holiday desserts. We add this maple whipped cream to hot chocolate, pies, and on top of french toast.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
- 2 tbsp of granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp of dark maple syrup (you can use any kind really, but the darker it is, the richer the flavor will be)
- 1 tsp of a good vanilla extract (I always use Nielsen-Massey)
Directions
- Add all ingredients to a kitchen mixer (it is certainly possible to do this by hand, but that kinda takes the quick and easy part of it)
- Turn the mixer on to just over 1/2 speed (on our KitchenAid that’s a 6)
- Mix for about 5 minutes
- When it starts forming stiff peaks whip for about 30 seconds more (you may need to turn it off or slow it down to see the peaks more easily, when it’s going too fast it may be hard to tell).
Exquisite presentation! Can’t wait to try it!
This looks even better than it sounds! I’m going to put it on my list of recipes to try. Thanks for sharing it!
