How to Make Heavy Whipped Cream for Coffee at Home

There’s nothing quite like a dollop of whipped cream on top of a hot cup of coffee. It adds a creamy sweetness that takes your morning cup of joe to the next level. While store-bought whipped cream is convenient, making your own heavy whipped cream at home is easy and much more delicious. Here’s how to do it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Step 1:

Chill your mixing bowl and whisk in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. This will help your cream whip faster.

Step 2:

Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl.

Step 3:

Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the heavy cream.

Step 4:

Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until soft peaks form. Be sure not to overbeat the cream, or it will turn into butter.

Step 5:

Once soft peaks have formed, stop the mixer and check the consistency of the whipped cream. If it’s not thick enough for your liking, continue to beat on high speed for another minute or so, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6:

When the whipped cream is ready, spoon it onto your coffee and enjoy!

Tips:

• Use a metal mixing bowl and whisk, as plastic can absorb flavors and odors.
• Be sure to use heavy cream, as it has a higher fat content and will whip up better than lighter creams.
• Don’t add too much sugar, as it can make the whipped cream too sweet and ruin the balance of flavors in your coffee.
• Store any leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Now that you know how to make heavy whipped cream at home, you can elevate your morning coffee routine and impress your friends and family with your barista skills. Enjoy!
