Homemade Sweetened Whipped Cream
Ingredients
- ½ 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
- 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.
Mmmm! Jamie, I love homemade whipped cream! So glad you posted this, and thanks for sharing it at Treasure Box Tuesday! I want a big ol' dollop on some of your Arroz con Leche! ♥
I love homemade whipped cream, so much better than most store bought brands! Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
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.
