Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe

There is just something about homemade food. It’s just so good and comforting. A few years ago, I started making my own whipped cream for Thanksgiving. First, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make, and second, I couldn’t believe how much better it was! If you have never had homemade whipped cream, you’re in for a treat. The flavor is so rich and creamy! I honestly could just eat it with a spoon and not add it to anything!

What Ingredients Are in Homemade Whipped Cream?

Heavy Whipping Cream – Make sure that you are using heavy whipping cream – not half and half or any other substitute.
Powdered Sugar – I have used regular sugar as well, but I have found that powdered sugar makes it a little fluffier with a lighter consistency.
Vanilla – I prefer using pure vanilla rather than vanilla extract but either will work just fine.

Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla.
With a mixer, beat on high for 5-10 minutes until stiff peaks form and the whipped cream is light and fluffy.
Serve and enjoy!

How to Store Homemade Whipped Cream

Store the homemade whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. You will notice that it might lose the light and fluffy consistency as it sits in the fridge. That’s ok! Simply use a hand mixer again to beat until light and fluffy once more.
