WHIPPED CREAM - it's a love or hate kind of thing. I love it, but only if it's homemade. And I mean made with REAL ingredients, not any of that processed junk. I rarely have it because I can't stand whipped cream in any other form. Do you know what's in store bought FAKE whipped cream? Corn Syrup, Refined Sugar, Artificial Flavors, Carrageenan ... YUCK, no thank you. And then there's the fluffy kind that comes in the round container ... guess what, it's loaded with Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil ... gross!
Homemade Whipped Cream is SO EASY TO MAKE! When you make it with REAL, healthy, nourishing ingredients, you can't go wrong.
The next time you're in need of some whipped cream, please make some on your own. It literally takes minutes to make and the result is so worth it.
HOMEMADE HONEY SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM
Perfectly sweet, simple and delicious ... this Honey Sweetened Whipped Cream is oh so good!
Equipment: Large Mixing Bowl w/ high sides, Hand-Held Mixer or Standing Mixer
{Affiliate Links included help support this blog}
- 2 cups organic whipping cream or raw cream * {See Resources}
- 2-3 tablespoons raw honey {I use raw local creamed clover honey}
- 1 1/2 teaspoons gluten free vanilla extract
1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream, honey and vanilla extract on high until it forms stiff peaks. [Note: Make sure to use a large mixing bowl with high edges or the liquid will go everywhere when you turn the mixer on.]
2. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
Yield: Makes about 4 cups.
Tips: Make sure the cream is very cold; keep it refrigerated until ready to use. Chill your mixing bowl and whisk/beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes before using.
Storage: Cover and store in the refrigerator. Keeps well for about 2 hours ... we have left it in the refrigerator and still enjoyed it the next day.
Serving Suggestions: Dollop on a piece of pie or cake, layer into trifles or parfaits, serve with fresh fruit, spoon onto Strawberry shortcakes, puddings, ice cream or milkshakes ... or just eat it by the spoonful.
* Use dairy from pastured cows if possible and/or try to find a quality organic product like Straus Family Creamery; their cows graze on lush grass in Marshall, CA near Tomales Bay and they do not ultra-pasteurize their products. For California residents, check out my favorite raw milk/cream from Claravale Farm. They sell to stores and co-ops all over CA.
