Homemade Whipped Cream – Try making whipped cream at home with just 3 simple ingredients in 5 minutes. Great on top of drinks and desserts!

Homemade Whipped Cream

This homemade whipped cream is one of my go-to recipes.  The stuff in the can just can’t compare to the fluffy and creamy yumminess that is homemade whipped cream.  If you haven’t made whipped cream before, then you are in for a treat.  It’s made from just heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract.  That’s it! You just beat those ingredients together in a stand mixer and ta da! You have whipped cream! Now you can do this without a stand mixer with a metal bowl and hand mixer but I do not suggest trying to whip cream by hand.  Your arms will hurt well before you have any whipped cream.

Now this homemade whipped cream is good on everything from drinks to desserts or even just on it’s own with some fresh berries.  Once you try it, you will never want the canned stuff again!
