You know those mornings when it's super hard just to get out of bed and get going? Well, once you try this vanilla bean whipped cream on your coffee instead of plain old creamer, your mornings will never be the same again.
This recipe couldn't be easier, and it is almost certain to please. You can also use this to top your favorite pie, cake, fruit, or hot chocolate.
Whipped cream works any time of the year as a fun way to add a dollop of sweetness. While it’s easy to make and doesn’t take long, it can be tricky in getting the right texture. One key to getting a light, airy consistency is to chill the bowl and whisk before making the whipped cream.
In this recipe, we want soft peaks, not stiff peaks. Soft peaks will hold their shape but still have movement compared to stiff peaks which hold their form tightly. The longer we whisk the whipped cream, the more likely it will get closer to stiff peaks.
The key is to not overbeat the cream. If you feel unsure about the texture, stop the mixer and check as you go.
So, let’s dig into the recipe! We’re using half of one vanilla bean to get the most natural and flavorful whipped cream we can get.
Instead of granular sugar, we recommend using powdered sugar as it dissolves quicker than granular sugar. Plus, you won’t get the crunch that is sometimes noticeable with granular sugar.
Our twist on classic vanilla is adding a dash of cinnamon. It adds just the right amount of spice and complements the vanilla wonderfully!
Rich and creamy, this whipped cream is a decadent topping for dessert, fruit or beverages. Made with real vanilla beans to provide the truest vanilla flavor.
