Whipped Cream

Whipped Cream is something you can use for so many purposes. We tend to use it mostly for our breakfast foods. The kids love it on French Toast, Crepes, pancakes, Swedish Pancakes (recipes to come), and today they loved it with some fresh berries.

Every once in a while we use the Reddi Whip from a can. We all love the idea of it because it’s super convenient. Once they start eating it, they realize how flavorless and tasteless it is. It really isn’t that much work to make some real stuff and make your food taste way better.

Whipped Cream starts out and whipping cream. It’s like a really thick milk. There are many purposes for whipping cream but once you whip it, it makes Whipped Cream. You do have to add some sugar and vanilla to give it flavor though.

Sometimes when mixing the cream with your hand mixer it can tend to splatter all over the place. I’ve discovered that getting 2 paper towels and putting a hole in the middle helps. The attachment goes through the hole. Make sure to do this before attaching it to the machine.

This allows you to drape the paper towels over the bowl and it catches all the splatter. As soon as it gets thick enough then it won’t splatter anymore.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla once it is has thickened.

Now it’s ready to eat. Spoon it on top of whatever you are making it for…or just eat it plain. I know my kids do.
