Make Flavored Whipped Cream

Flavored whipped cream adds decadence to your desserts.


Use flavorings in your homemade whipped cream to add complementary flavors to your desserts. Add coffee to whipped cream you will serve with chocolate or add vanilla to whipped cream you will serve with fruit pie. Before you make your whipped cream, place the mixing bowls, whisks and whipping cream in the refrigerator to chill for approximately 1 hour. Metal bowls will chill your whipped cream well while you beat it, but if you don't have metal bowls you can use glass bowls. Fill a large mixing bowl with 2 cups of cubed ice and place a second smaller bowl inside the first.


Instructions


1. Pour 2 cups of heavy whipping cream into mixing bowl.


2. Mix the whipping cream on "Low" for 1 minute using an electric mixer. Increase the speed to "High," scraping the sides of the bowl with the rubber spatula. Beat the cream until soft peaks form and the cream is light, fluffy and approximately twice its original volume.


3. Fold 3 tablespoons of superfine sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar into the mixture.


4. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of flavored extract. Refrigerate and serve cold.
