All Rights Reserved Made with just three ingredients, this homemade Whipped Cream recipe is just what you need for all your dessert toppings. Super simple to make in just a few minutes, this easy stabilized whipped cream is better than anything you’d buy in a store. Homemade Whipped CreamI doubt I’m alone in saying this but I could totally eat bowls of whipped cream with a spoon for hours on end. I’m not sure my belly would love it but there’s nothing better than homemade whipped cream and it couldn’t be simpler to make. You’re not even going to believe how easy this is. I always thought that everyone knew the basics of how to make homemade whipped cream because it’s so simple to throw together. I’m not trying to make anyone feel badly for not knowing how to make whipped cream but I always took my kitchen skills for granted. Therefore, I, sometimes forget that I know things others don’t. So, I’m here to share with you the gloriousness that is easy to make homemade stabilized whipped cream in your very own home. And the best part is…it only takes THREE ingredients to make this edible delight in just a couple minutes. I’m also going to add here…..those recipes that call for cream cheese in their stabilized whipped cream recipes are so totally wrong. If you add cream cheese to your homemade whipped cream recipe….you, basically, just made cream cheese frosting. Which is totally wonderful….but it’s definitely not whipped cream. How does whipped cream hold it’s shape if you’re not using cream cheese?While some recipes use gelatin to keep their homemade whipped cream aloft, I chose to just use confectioners’ sugar. I find that the perfect ratio of cream to sugar will keep your whipped cream light and airy for a couple days. How to Make Whipped Cream from ScratchMaking this easy Stabilized Whipped Cream recipe is super simple to do.
Totally Easy Peasy!!! In a pinch, I like to use it as a Whipped Cream Frosting for angel food cake and pound cake. But most of the time I just use it to top hot cocoa, Homemade Pumpkin Pie or a bowl full of berries….just depends on the time of the year. If you don’t have a hand mixer, you can totally make your whipped cream by hand. How to whip cream by hand:
I have found that my hand whipped cream sometimes loses it fluff more quickly than the whipped cream made with an electric mixer. My theory is that the hand whipped cream makes my arm hurt so I don’t really beat it as long as I should. You really need to work the air into the cream to break down the sugar molecules. I use this stabilized whipped cream recipe as a substitute for Cool Whip in all my recipes. I love that it doesn’t contain any preservatives or artificial ingredients….and you can totally taste the difference in everything you make with it. Is heavy cream the same as heavy whipping cream?Short answer….sort of. The difference comes down to fat content. Heavy cream has a little more fat content (at least 36% fat) than whipping cream (at least 30%). Both heavy cream and whipping cream can be made into “whipped cream”, BUT heavy cream is able to be whipped into stiffer peaks AND BUTTER, allowing it to hold it’s shape longer. This makes it perfect for piping as a whipped cream frosting onto cupcakes and cakes. Whipping cream is much lighter and softer, so it will not hold it’s shape causing your whipped cream to weep. That is why this recipe calls for HEAVY CREAM and not whipping cream. And if you’re wondering if you can substitute the heavy cream with half and half…..NO. Not a chance….you can whip for 30 years and your half and half will still be half and half. Just a little frothier. Here are a few recipes using Stabilized Whipped Cream:

You can replace it with milk, but keep in mind that the frosting won't be quite as creamy. Vanilla Extract: This adds a little bit of flavor to the frosting.
Can you frost a cake with whipped cream?If you are looking for a super simple frosting that lets the cake shine, whipped cream is the way to go. Unlike a buttercream, which is rich to a fault (it's called buttercream, after all), whipped cream is relatively light and delightfully fluffy. Not to mention, its ingredient list and method are as simple as can be.
