- You can use it for so many recipes! You can use it as a dip or top different desserts, like cakes, cupcakes, cheesecake, and more.
Ingredients
To make this strawberry whipped cream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Make sure to use chilled heavy cream (interchangeable with heavy whipping cream) so it whips up easily!
- Powdered sugar, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and vanilla extract provides the sweetness and flavor we’re looking for. If you don’t have freeze-dried strawberry powder, you can use strawberry jam.
- If the strawberry whipped cream is too light for your liking, you can add a bit of red/pink food coloring to make it more vibrant.
For the full list of ingredients and measurements, see the recipe card below.
How To Make Strawberry Whipped Cream
Step 1: Add all of your ingredients to a medium bowl. Whip until thickened, about 2-4 minutes.
Step 2: Taste and add more powdered sugar to your liking. If the color isn’t vibrant enough for you, feel free to mix in red or pink food coloring! Enjoy!
Note: I made a half batch recipe, which is why I fit everything into a 1 cup pyrex! For full instructions, see the recipe card below.
Whisked too much and now your whipped cream is chunky and split?
No worries! Add a splash or two of heavy cream. Mix on low speed until it smooths back out!
Storage
If you have any leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If rewhipping, I recommend adding a splash of heavy cream to smooth it out first, then whip until it reaches the consistency you desire.
