Here are a couple of homemade whip cream recipes that you might want to consider as toppings for pies, holiday desserts, hot chocolates, and fresh fruits.
For your ingredients, you need 1 cup heavy cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar. Before its usage, chill a glass bowl in the fridge. After around 15 to 20 minutes, take the chilled glass bowl, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract in, and whisk the liquids properly. If you have an electric mixer, you can also use it in whisking the ingredients. Keep the electric mixer on low speed. Once you find that the mixture is getting thicker, lift the beater and check for a “lazy curve” shape formed on it. Then, sift the confectioners’ sugar in. Keep beating the cream until everything turns into a soft paste. Do not overbeat the cream. Cover the bowl and chill it in the fridge before serving.
Homemade Whipped Cream Variations
To add variation to the taste of your homemade whipped cream recipe, you can mix 1 ½ tablespoon rum/bourbon with the regular homemade whipped cream. For a minty taste, try adding ½ teaspoon fresh mint extract and a tablespoon of mint paste with your homemade whipped cream. Holiday desserts will definitely be more delectable with mint favored homemade whipped cream. Another flavor that you might want to whip up is chai. Add half teaspoon chai extract to your basic recipe. This is best to use with pumpkin and apple pies. Do not forget to garnish your pies with some cinnamon sprinkles.
Homemade Whipped Cream with Gelatin
Did you know that you could include gelatin in your whip cream recipe? For this, you will need
1 teaspoon gelatin, 3 tablespoons boiling water, 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons cold water, ½ cup ice water, and ½ cup nonfat dry milk. In a bowl, add the gelatin and cold water.

Meanwhile, in a chilled glass bowl, pour nonfat dry milk and ice water. Whisk and beat both ingredients until you achieve a thick consistency.

A whipped cream charger is a steel cylinder filled with nitrous oxide. To create your recipe, add the ingredients to your whipped cream dispenser then place it into the holder on your cream dispenser. This will create a hole in the charger and release N2O into the charger with your ingredients. Then, remove the charger and put back on the dispenser’s cap. Shake the dispenser to mix your ingredients and release your very own whipped cream by squeezing the handle on your dispenser.
