Easy Pumpkin Spiced Whipped Cream
From September through November, I hear the phrase just about; the only thought that goes through my head is: what pumpkin recipes can I come up with this season? Pumpkin Flavored Whipped Cream is exactly what we all need for fall! Top off all of your favorite desserts (pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin anything) with this Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream recipe.
Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream Ingredients
To make this delicious dessert topping, you will need the following key ingredients:
- Heavy cream. This is the main ingredient in any whipped cream recipe. For a vegan-friendly and dairy-free whipped cream, you can try using coconut milk instead.
- Powdered sugar. When whipped with heavy cream, powdered sugar helps turn the mixture into the fluffy masterpiece that is ~whipped~ cream.
- Pumpkin spice. You can use a store-bought blend or make your own from scratch. It’s totally up to you!
- Vanilla extract. Don’t underestimate this one. Vanilla extract goes a long way in enhancing the flavor of our other ingredients.
- Kosher salt. It might sound strange to add salt to a dessert recipe, but trust me on this one. A tiny amount of salt enhances all the delicious sweet flavors in the dish.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream
If you’ve never made your own whipped cream from scratch, you’ve been seriously missing out. Not only is it delicious, but it’s incredibly quick and easy to make! Simply follow the steps below:
- Using a mixer fitted with a whisk, whip the cream, sugar, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and salt on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Fool-Proof Homemade Whipped Cream Tips
Here are some of my top tips and tricks to help you make this recipe:
- For best results, chill both your bowl and whisk before making your homemade whipped cream. If your tools are warm, they could heat up the cold heavy cream and alter the final product’s texture.
- To store homemade whipped cream for later, transfer it to an airtight storage container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5-7 days or in the freezer for up to 1-3 months.
- Want to try out a dairy-free whipped cream? Swap out the heavy cream for unrefined coconut milk instead.
- If you want to make plain whipped cream, feel free to leave out the pumpkin spice. You can also switch up the flavor profile a bit by replacing the spice blend with cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Be careful not to overmix the whipped cream; otherwise, you run the risk of turning it grainy. If you end up overmixing it, add a touch more cream and mix by hand with a spatula.
