Ingredients

Instructions

  • It's important all of your whipping cream and utensils are cold when making whipped cream. Place your mixing bowl and beaters/attachments in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before starting on the whipped cream.
  • Add the heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla to the mixing bowl. Using a standing mixer or hand mixer beat the mixture on low for a few seconds to combine the sweetener.
  • Then adjust the speed to high and blend for 60-90 seconds until you see stiff peaks. Stop halfway through to scrape down the edges of the mixing bowl and continue to blend.
  • If it starts to turn yellow or if you see any curdling, stop mixing immediately. Soon you will have butter.

Notes

Powdered Confectioner’s sweetener has a finer texture in comparison to granulated sweetener. It will dissolve much easier and help create whipped cream that is smooth and holds it’s shape.
You can use granulated if you wish, just note the texture will be different.
Feel free to use your sweetener of choice. If you use something like stevia you will have to convert the amount you use based on the assumption that you are converting from "refined sugar" as the monkfruit has a 1:1  substitution ratio with refined sugar.
You can omit the sweetener and vanilla if you aren't looking for something sweet.
The high-fat content of heavy whipping cream is important to the structure and stability. You can't substitute half and half or milk because they have less fat in comparison. You can add a thickener like gelatin to maybe help you get there. I have not tested and have no recommendations for the use of milk or plant-based alternatives.
