Ingredients Needed

  • Heavy Whipping Cream – When faced with the decision between Heavy Cream vs Heavy Whipping Cream, which one truly reigns supreme? As you embark on your journey into the realm of crafting Homemade Whipped Cream, it becomes abundantly clear that heavy whipping cream takes the crown. The secret to its triumph lies in its opulent, high-fat content, a fundamental element that imparts unrivaled stability, a luscious texture, and an absolutely irresistible flavor profile.
  • Cinnamon – When making cinnamon whipped cream, your choice of cinnamon type matters for flavor. There are two main varieties: Cassia cinnamon, known for its bold, spicy flavor, and Ceylon cinnamon, offering a milder, sweeter taste with subtle citrus notes. Cassia cinnamon is ideal if you prefer a robust, spicier cinnamon presence in your whipped cream, while Ceylon cinnamon suits those who desire a more delicate, sweet cinnamon flavor that doesn’t overpower the cream.
  • Vanilla – Vanilla serves to enhance the overall flavor profile. It adds a subtle, sweet, and aromatic undertone that complements the richness of the cream and the warmth of the cinnamon.

How to Make Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  1. Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, making sure it’s cold, cinnamon, vanilla, and powdered sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer.
  2. Whip the mixture. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, start whipping the cream at low speed. Slowly increase the mixer to medium-high speed and continue whipping until the cream thickens and forms stiff peaks, which typically takes a few minutes. Exercise caution to avoid over-whipping, as this can lead to an undesirable grainy texture.

Storage Information

Preserving the freshness and quality of chocolate whipped cream relies on correct storage procedures. It’s advisable to enjoy it within 2-3 days of making it, as prolonged storage may result in a gradual loss of its freshness.

  • Refrigerate: Store the whipped cream in an airtight container or cover it with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator.
  • Freezing Instructions: Store it in a freezer-safe bag, preferably in the coldest section of your freezer. When you’re ready to indulge, opt for thawing it in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature to help preserve its texture.
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: For a convenient way to prepare cinnamon whipped cream ahead of time, begin by cooling your mixing bowl and beaters. Then, whip together the cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until soft peaks gently emerge. Store the mixture in an airtight container or piping bag in the refrigerator, where it can be kept for up to 24 hours. Prior to use, remember to re-whip it for optimal texture and consistency.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Use cold whipping cream. Make sure that the heavy whipping cream is kept cold. Chilling the cream facilitates better whipping and contributes to a smoother, more velvety texture.
  • Sift in the powdered sugar. In order to avoid clumps in your whipped cream sift the powdered sugar into the mixing bowl before mixing it in.
  • Start by whipping at a moderate speed. Start the whipping process on a low-speed setting and then gradually elevate it to medium-high as the cream begins to thicken. Refrain from starting at high speed right away, as this may result in over-whipping and an undesired grainy texture.
  • Don’t overwhip. It’s important to avoid over-whipping the cream, as this can lead to a grainy texture. Stop whipping as soon as stiff peaks form.
