Whipped Cream Topping
"I know there are a zillion recipes on zaar for whipped cream topping, but here is mine. It's simple as can be."
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
directions
- Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl (metal works best) and mixer beaters in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before preparing. Make sure to thoroughly chill whipping cream as well.
- Pour all ingredients into the mixing bowl. (Note: You may choose not to add the nutmeg. I like to use it for a surprising, earthy flavor. I also substitute other spices such as cinnamon or cloves if the mood strikes. You may use your discretion).
- Beat at low speed at first until mixture begins to bubble and slightly thicken.
- Then beat at medium-high speed until beaters begin to leave a trail, and stiff peaks form when tested with the back of a spoon (Note: Do not beat too long, or the mixture will become sweetened butter).
- Top dessert of your choice.
- Cover and store in refrigerator for 24-48 hours.

Thank you for posting this recipe! I used to always make my own whipped cream, but then out of convenience I started buying the stuff in a can when needed for ice cream etc. Well, I went back to whipping my own cream again and it has never tasted quite right...Surprise I kept forgetting the vanilla. Thanks for cluing me back in! Oh, I added a hint of cinnamon to my whipped cream, because I used it to top WI Cheesehead's Mexican Banana Splits. Made for the Aus/Nz Swap 19
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
