I’m constantly asking myself how I can make a moment or an experience just a bit more special. The answer is almost always simply with the addition of one extra ingredient. It might be a smile, an act of kindness, or maybe even a touch of whiskey.
This holiday season, enjoy a few extra special moments with these easy whipped cream recipes.
Start with a traditional whipped cream recipe.
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to form peaks. Then add in the rest of the ingredients and whip until you reach the desired consistency.
Maple Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Maple Whipped Cream pairs best with pumpkin pie.
Almond Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
Almond Whipped Cream pairs well with apple or cherry pie.
Whiskey Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream (minus two tablespoons)
2 tablespoons of your favorite whisky
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
It should be noted, that this whipped cream is my favorite of all whipped cream and pairs well with just about everything, but pecan pie and/or on top of coffee will make all your dreams come true.
I hope these recipes adds just a bit more special to your holidays this year. If you try them, please tag me on Instagram at @theloveletterlibrary - I love to see you sharing in the excitement of life!
For the cherry pie, I used pre-made pie crust and caned cherry pie filling. Easy peasy. Using a star cookie cutter to make the tops of the pies, makes it so so special.
