Easy Homemade Whipped Cream

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. This costs you absolutely no extra money (of course), it simply allows me to maintain the lifestyle my cats are accustomed to!

This is one of my favorite recipes for easy homemade whipped cream (or whipped topping, if you’d prefer).  I use it on pies, ice cream, brownies, lattes… absolutely everything I can think of. It’s a knock out every single time.

This whipped cream can hide a multitude of sins – for example, if you aren’t 100 percent happy with the way your pie(s) turn out – pies can be fickle after all – this cream is a cure all.  It pardons the pie of its every sin.

Something else I love to do with this recipe is use it as cake icing – especially in the summer when I prefer to refrigerate my cakes. I just double the recipe and ta da, best icing ever.

How to Make Your Own Whipped Cream or Whipped Topping

2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.  Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff.  Refrigerate until ready to use.

Enjoy and don’t worry about the calories until tomorrow.
