Recipe: Maple Sweetened Whipped Cream

Lightly sweetened with rich maple syrup, this whipped cream is one of our favorite indulgences.

Whipped Cream

1 cup cram (preferably raw cream)
1 tsp vanilla
maple syrup to taste.

Before you begin, place your bowl in the freezer. This helps the cream stay whipped longer, as a warm bowl will cause it to melt and liquefy.

Pour the cream into the cold mixing bowl and, using a whisk attachment, beat on high for about 2 minutes.

Once the cream is light and fluffy, add in the vanilla. You can add in maple syrup a slash at a time until you reach the taste desired. It will depend on what you’re serving it with for the desired sweetness, so if the dessert itself is very sweet, the whipped cream doesn’t have to be!

Serve or chill immediately. This is best consumed within the day or it will start to liquefy again.

I put my whisk attachment in the freezer also. Unfortunatly we have no access to raw milk and all the whipping cream is ultra pasturized. Even the stuff from the health food store. It is a trade off, ultra pasturized but no extra crap in it. Someday hopefully we will be able to buy raw milk.

I made maple syrup sweetened whipped cream just like hours before you posted this. It was our first time making it with maple syrup, and it was delicious! I’ve heard you can use honey, too.

@Beth, Yea, I’ve never tried it with honey. Though that might be tastier when using it without something sweet since it has a more pronounced flavor than syrup.

this was the best whipped cream! made some tonight w/the grain-free brownies for my hubby’s birthday, since he’s allergic to wheat. it was all so much easier than trying to make a cake and everyone thought it was great. even the m-i-l who doesn’t like chocolate
