Yield 1, 3, or 4 cups, depending on the batch you choose

Number Of Ingredients 12

Half batch (for covering only a portion of a 9-inch / 23-cm pie or for a very thin top layer):
118 g / ½ cup heavy cream
25 g / 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 g / ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Full batch (for generously covering the whole pie):
235 g / 1 cup heavy cream
50 g / ¼ cup granulated sugar
5 g / 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Mile-high batch (for when you're feeling all fancy-pants):
353 g / 1½ cups heavy cream
66 g / ⅓ cup granulated sugar
7 g / 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream on medium-low speed until it begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and add the sugar in a slow, steady stream, then continue to whip to medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.
  • Do Ahead: Plain whipped cream is best made just before it is used, but you can intentionally under-whip the cream (to just under soft peaks), then finish by whipping by hand when you're ready to serve. It will hold this way for up to 4 hours. The mascarpone variation can be made up to 6 hours ahead and held in the refrigerator. Whip a few times gently to refresh before using.
  • Variation
  • Mascarpone Whipped Cream: Reduce the cream by half. For a half batch, use 75 g / ⅓ cup mascarpone; for a full batch, 113 g / ½ cup; and for a mile-high batch, 170 g / ¾ cup. Place the mascarpone and sugar in the mixer bowl and whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl well, then reduce the speed to medium-low and add the cream in a slow, steady stream. Raise the speed to medium-high and whip until the mixture is smooth and reaches medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.

WHIPPED CREAM PIE

Super easy, super good; a really great "in-a-pinch" dessert. From a cookbook entitled "Second Round", the second in the "Tea Time At The Masters" set from the Augusta, Georgia Junior League. Cook time is chilling time, and time to prepare the fruit isn't included.

Time 3h30m

Yield 1 9inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 pint whipping cream, whipped
1 9 inch graham cracker pie crust
fresh fruit (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice.
  • Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold cheese mixture into whipped cream.
  • Pour into pie crust.
  • Refrigerate until firm.
  • Garnish with fruit-- peaches, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, would all be good with this; as would some shaved chocolate!

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: The colder the ingredients, the better the whipped cream will be. This is because the fat in the cream will be more likely to form stiff peaks when it is cold.
  • Whip the cream gradually: Start by whipping the cream on low speed, and then gradually increase the speed to medium or high. This will help to prevent the cream from over-whipping.
  • Do not over-whip the cream: Over-whipped cream will be grainy and lumpy. It is better to stop whipping the cream when it has reached soft peaks.
  • Add flavorings at the end: If you are adding flavorings to the whipped cream, such as vanilla extract or sugar, do so at the end of the whipping process. This will help to prevent the flavorings from curdling the cream.
  • Use whipped cream immediately: Whipped cream is best used immediately after it is made. It will start to lose its volume and texture after a few hours.

Conclusion:

Homemade whipped cream is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. By following the tips in this article, you can make perfect whipped cream every time.
