Whipped cream is so easy to make, there’s no need to ever buy whipped topping! It comes together in just minutes and is the perfect way to top your favorite desserts and cozy drinks. The second ingredient is adding a bit of creme fraiche. This adds an incredible dimension to regular homemade whipped cream, so be sure to check out that variation below. I got this idea from an article I read a while back about how Nancy Silverton, (of the famous La Brea Bakery) adds creme fraiche to her whipped cream. So I decided to try it out, and I’ve never looked back.
How to make this recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this ultimate Whipped Cream recipe! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. You can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, an electric hand mixer with beaters, or a whisk and large bowl and beat the cream by hand. Tip: Chill your mixing bowl for the best most consistent results. Whipping cream whips into the best whipped cream when it’s cold. However, I usually don’t bother with this extra step and just work quickly. Once you take the heavy cream out of the fridge you want to give it your full attention until it’s whipped, about 3-4 minutes.
