This Strawberry Whipped Cream recipe is a delightful and creamy dessert topping made by blending fresh strawberries into whipped heavy cream for a naturally sweet and flavorful treat. It takes just 15 minutes to prepare and serves as an elegant accompaniment to cakes, pancakes, or fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Puree Strawberries: Puree the hulled fresh strawberries in a blender until smooth, creating a fresh strawberry puree that will be incorporated into the whipped cream.
  2. Combine Cream and Sweeteners: In a large bowl, add the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. This mixture forms the base for the whipped cream.
  3. Begin Whipping: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream mixture until it starts to thicken, preparing it to hold the added strawberry flavor.
  4. Add Strawberry Puree: While continuing to beat, gradually pour in the strawberry puree to incorporate the fresh fruit flavor thoroughly into the cream.
  5. Whip to Stiff Peaks: Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating the mixture until it forms stiff peaks, ensuring a light and airy texture for the whipped cream.
  6. Serve or Store: Use the strawberry whipped cream immediately for best texture, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. It pairs wonderfully with desserts or as a sweet topping.

Notes

  • Use chilled heavy cream to achieve the best whipping results.
  • The strawberry puree adds natural sweetness, so adjust powdered sugar to taste if desired.
  • Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For a smoother puree, strain the strawberries before adding to the cream.
