Homemade Sweetened Whipped Cream
Sweetened Whipped Cream is a favorite topping for so many desserts! It's super easy to make at home with only 2 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated or powdered sugar
Instructions
- Chill a medium bowl.
- After the bowl is chilled, beat the whipping cream and sugar in the chilled bowl with an electric mixer on HIGH speed until stiff.
- Use the Homemade Sweetened Whipped Cream to top your favorite desserts!
Notes
**Note - I prefer powdered sugar over granulated sugar - but both will do the job. You can also add ¼ tsp. of vanilla extract for an extra special dollop! 🙂 Also, take care not to over beat - or you may end up with butter! If you do not have an electric mixer, you can use a balloon-type whisk and whisk this by hand. It is a bit more work, but it is not terribly difficult!

I like to use powdered sugar also. It helps stabilize the cream for a little longer.

For those of us who can't eat sugar, I like to use 4 (more or less to your taste) of Stevia Sweet Leaf extract.

LOVE homemade whipped cream and prefer this to any other type of frosting or topping. I agree with the powdered sugar over granulated sugar too. Mixing it with hot chocolate also makes a wonderful light chocolate flavor too.

You can also add almond extract instead of vanilla. This is great with fresh strawberries.
