Homemade organic vanilla whipped cream

Hello friends! Finally I tried out fresh whipped cream and it turned out yum n guilt free one. It needs just 3ingredients and is a very simple recipe. Do try it out..

Ingredients :

  • 1C fresh organic milk cream
  • 4 tbsp of organic sugar pwd
  • 1cm vanilla pod grated

Method: 

Add fresh cream, sugar & vanilla into the bowl and place the whisks of the electric  blender in it and freeze for 15mins. <This is very important and would help the cream not turning to butter while whisking.>

Then remove and whisk in low mode until it turns fluffy <would take 5 to 10mins>. You could even try with a hand whisker, but it would take more time and would be a good workout for you 😉  Be very careful not to over blend as it will result in butter. It is good to go when the cream holds peak shapes as shown below. Thats it! This whipped cream swirls beautifully.

This is the base recipe, go creative by adding different natural flavours <probably you could try fresh berries, orange or lemon zest, grated coconut etc> !

It crowns cupcakes, can sandwich between biscuits to make homemade cream biscuit, decor cakes, could be had with fresh fruits, however you wish to!

Hope you liked the recipe! Do give it a thumbs up 👍 and subscribe to the blog! Thankyou 🙏!
