Sweetened Whipped Cream

Have you tried and tried to replicate fresh sweetened whipped cream but can't do it? Yeah, I did that for a long time, too. When I worked at Kneaders, I even offered to make the whipped cream for the waffles one morning so I could learn the secret, but they wouldn't let me because it was just that special.
Fast forward a few years when I discovered it was way easier than I thought it would be. I don't know if this is how Kneaders made their whipped cream, but it tastes the same to me. I kept doing nutty things like adding vanilla and using granulated sugar; turns out all you need is whipping cream and powdered sugar.

Sweetened Whipped Cream

1 c. whipping cream
1/3 c. powdered sugar
Combine whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl. With an electric hand mixer, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form.


Serve with pie, cake, waffles, whatever your pretty little heart desires!

I had the epiphany this past Thanksgiving to use powdered sugar instead of granulated, and the difference in my whipped cream was insane! Soooo good! I also put a small amount of vanilla extract into my whipped cream as well, and it's delish!!

I just made this to top my birthday dessert, and I can't believe how well the leftovers have lasted in the fridge compared to my usual granulated sugar type! Thanks for sharing this great tip!

A little cinnamon is good if serving with pumpkin pie. Also, using powdered sugar instead of granulated, keeps it from going watery when leftovers are stored in the frig. So, ya, you got it just right.

My ganoche for the mini cheesecakes did not work out, so I used the rest of the whipping cream and made sweetened whipped cream. I knew exactly where to go to find help! Thanks!
