Is there a secret to making homemade whip cream for my pumpkin pie?

Basically, its simple. Just Heavy Whipping Cream and Confectioners Sugar. Whip it until it stands up on it's own in 'peaks'. (whip it too far and it turns into butter).





Secrets.


1) COLD. Homemade whip cream doesn't last very long. the colder it stays, the longer it will stay 'whipped'. This can be assisted using a Cold, METAL bowl to whip/store it in and Cold beaters for the mixer. You can put both in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes before making it. Keep it in the fridge if it's not being used.


2) Flavors. You can really put anything in it to add a little flavor... A teaspoon of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of grenadine, some shaved chocolate, etc... since you're using it for pumpkin pie, maybe add some nutmeg and/or cinnamon.

Homemade whipped cream leaves the canned, and god forbid, bucket stuff in the dust (being actually whipped and cream), and takes less than five minutes to make. The trick: a cold bowl, clean beaters, and a ratio of about 1 cup of heavy cream to 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, whipped until it holds soft peaks. Start low, so you don鈥檛 splash yourself when it is still liquid. Add a splash of flavoring (vanilla, almond or a liqueur) at the end for extra awesomeness.

Whipped cream is just that... literally, just cream that's been whipped with a mixer at a very high speed. One ingredient, and about five minutes of mixing.
