Ingredients you need
- Whipping cream: Use fresh heavy whipping cream for the best texture and flavor. For a dairy-free version, choose a plant-based heavy cream that whips well.
- Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar helps stabilize the whipped cream and sweetens it evenly. Sift it to avoid lumps.
- Maple syrup: Choose pure maple syrup for the most authentic flavor. A little goes a long way—start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
Maple Whip Cream Step-by-step
How To Make Maple Flavored Whipped Cream From Scratch
- Step One: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for faster results. Combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and maple syrup in a tall mixing bowl.
- Step Two: Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until very stiff peaks form. Taste and add more maple syrup if you prefer a stronger maple flavor.
- Step Three: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream onto coffee, hot chocolate, pancakes, waffles, pies, or other desserts.
How To Store Maple Whipped Cream
Store the whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep it cold to preserve texture; gently re-whip briefly if it begins to separate.
Can I Freeze Homemade Maple Syrup Whipped Cream?
Yes. Freezing works well for portioning and preserving extra whipped cream. Follow these steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe or spoon small dollops of whipped cream onto the sheet.
- Freeze until firm, then transfer the frozen dollops to a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Use frozen dollops straight from the freezer to top hot drinks or desserts; they’ll soften quickly and still taste fresh.
Top Tip
This maple whipped cream is an ideal finishing touch for a pumpkin spice latte, chai, or any warm drink. The maple flavor complements fall spices and baked apple desserts especially well.
Equipment
- Electric hand mixer: Use the whisk attachment and keep the beaters chilled for faster whipping.
- High mixing bowl: A chilled stainless steel or glass bowl helps the cream whip more quickly and hold its structure.
