Hi Bold Bakers!
WHAT YOU GET: A helpful list of easy, bold, and fun ways to make homemade whipped cream, along with three delicious whipped cream flavors. Perfect for all your baking needs!
I love whipped cream on my desserts — it seems to go with almost anything, doesn’t it? I know I suggest adding a dollop a lot in my recipes, so I wanted to set you all up with a foolproof whipped cream guide and provide you with some delicious and fun spins on the old classic along the way.
Here are all my helpful links to show you how to make the best whipped cream and how to make whipped cream without a mixer or a whisk. Just for fun, I compiled my tasty flavored whipped cream alternatives, like Chocolate Whipped Cream, as well!
Classic Homemade Whipped Cream
Sometimes you just want a classic, and if that’s the case for you, my Whipped Cream recipe is the way to go. In this article, I explain the best tips and tricks to get the perfect whipped cream every time. And if you want a bold take on whipped cream, keep reading because I’ve got plenty!
Strawberry Whipped Cream
This Strawberry Whipped Cream tastes like a dream! It’s one of the most versatile whipped cream flavors — it perfectly complements light, sweet desserts and is a fresh contrast to decadent desserts. And the best part is, it only requires 3 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make! It’s such a refreshing way to change up your whipped cream game.
Creme Fraiche Whipped Cream
Créme Fraiche Whipped Cream is an excellent option for those who want a bold whipped cream that’s not going to overpower your dessert. The creme fraiche adds a subtle tang to the classic whipped cream while still being sweet. It’s perfect for topping sweet, berry-centric recipes such as my Classic Strawberry Shortcake or just plain berries, as pictured above. It also only contains 3 ingredients, is super quick and easy to make, and is a little more stable than regular whipped cream, so it won’t melt as fast!
Chocolate Whipped Cream
Chocolate Whipped Cream is one of my favorite whipped cream flavors, and I’m sure it will become one of yours too. It has a nice chocolatey flavor while still maintaining the fresh, light qualities of regular whipped cream. This pairs perfectly with anything that goes with chocolate — use it as a frosting for chocolate cupcakes or serve it as a dip for fresh strawberries.
Stabilized Whipped Cream
I love whipped cream, and it always tastes so refreshing, especially in the summer. But I hate when it melts in the hot sun before I get a chance to eat it. With my Stabilized Whipped Cream recipe, you can have your whipped cream and eat it, too — even in the heat! This recipe only requires one additional step and will help your whipped cream last much longer without deflating or melting.
Frozen Whipped Cream
How cute is my Frozen Whipped Cream? It’s the perfect way to top any dessert, especially if you want to make your hot chocolate extra special. It’s incredibly easy to make and can be cut into any size or shape you want! They hold their shape surprisingly well when put in hot drinks as well.
Whipped Cream In A Jar
No electric mixer, no whisk, no problem with my Whipped Cream In A Jar. All you need is cold whipping cream, a mason jar, and your own muscles to have fresh, delicious whipped cream in a matter of minutes. Your pumpkin pie will always have the perfect dollop, no matter what kitchen you’re serving it from.
How To Turn Milk Into “Whipped Cream”
Want to make a last-minute cheesecake or chocolate mousse but don’t have heavy whipping cream? With this recipe, you can make an excellent whipped cream substitute that’s made with 3 ingredients you probably already have in your house. Unfortunately, this will not work in my 2-Ingredient Ice Cream or as a topping for other desserts, but if a recipe requires whipped cream in the batter, this will do the trick.
Perfect timing! I’ll be visiting my daughter in Ireland soon. What do I buy for heavy cream? Is double cream what I’m looking for? Thank you!
