Homemade Whipped Cream

This whipped cream is simple and so quick to whip up. It's perfect to eat by itself, on top of fruit, on top of pie, banana splits, the list goes on.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup Adjust this based on your sweetness preference. Pure maple syrup is the best option.
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract I used homemade vanilla extract, which is slightly lighter in color. Make sure it's the "pure" vanilla.
  • 1 pinch Salt While this is optional, I like just a pinch of salt and think it adds a lot.

Instructions

  1. First, add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream into the mixing bowl.

    Next, add 2 TBSP maple syrup (you can also adjust this later if you want it sweeter), 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 pinch of salt.

    Turn your mixer on medium-high for 5-8 minutes. You'll want to stand and watch it to make sure you don't over mix it. You're looking for a thickened mixture and stiff peaks forming.

    **If you over mix it, it will curdle/separate**. As soon as it's thick and is forming stiff peaks, you can turn off your mixer and enjoy.
