Since it’s the holidays, you’ll likely be confronted with lots of desserts at parties and get-togethers. One of the most popular toppings for pies, ice cream, and lots more is whipped cream! But of course, buying “Cool whip” or whipped cream in a can isn’t healthy! That doesn’t mean you have to completely avoid whipped cream. You just have to make your own excellent, more delicious whipped cream at home!
Ingredients:
- 2 c. heavy cream, preferably raw
- 1/4 c. maple syrup (less or more to taste)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a blender (Vitamix is awesome!), or in a glass bowl. Either blend on low, or use a mixer to beat the cream until fluffy. Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to a week. Use to top ice cream, pie, or just eat. 🙂
Thanks for this! I have a whipped cream maker to review and needed a good recipe. Quick question – I no longer have a source for raw cream – only raw milk. What do you use to skip the cream off the milk (besides a spoon)? Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Monique — Honestly, I just use a big spoon. A small gravy ladle would work too. There's not really a better way that I know, unfortunately.
I will have to try this – my current whipped cream recipe uses white sugar – I never thought about switching out with maple syrup but I bet that adds a nice flavor!
