Whipped Cream with Maple Syrup

Homemade maple whipped cream is a delectable topping crafted by whipping together heavy cream and pure maple syrup with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. This creamy concoction boasts a perfect blend of airy texture and the natural sweetness of maple, making it a heavenly addition to desserts, pancakes, waffles, or any treat in need of a touch of indulgence.

Ingredients Needed

• Heavy Cream – When faced with the choice between Heavy Cream vs Heavy Whipping Cream, one emerges as the undisputed champion in the realm of Homemade Whipped Cream – Heavy Whipping Cream. The secret to its supremacy lies in its opulent high-fat content, a crucial element that imparts stability, texture, and an irresistible flavor profile. Opting for lower-fat creams or milk alternatives could jeopardize the stability and decadence of your homemade whipped cream masterpiece.
• Maple Syrup – Maple syrup in maple whipped cream adds a delightful sweetness and a distinct maple flavor, enhancing the overall taste and creating a uniquely indulgent and flavorful whipped cream. If you don’t have any you can also use a Maple Syrup Substitute.
• Vanilla – Vanilla in maple whipped cream complements the maple syrup’s sweetness with its warm, aromatic notes. It adds depth and complexity to the flavor profile, resulting in a balanced and more nuanced taste in the whipped cream.

How to Make Maple Whipped Cream

1. Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, making sure it’s cold, maple syrup, and vanilla, and then sift the powdered sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer.
2. Beat the mixture. With either a handheld or stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment, start whipping the cream on low speed. Slowly escalate to medium-high speed and continue whipping until the cream thickens and stiff peaks take shape. This process usually requires a few minutes. Exercise caution not to over-whip the cream, as this can lead to an undesirable grainy texture.

Storage Information

Preserving the freshness and excellence of maple whipped cream relies on meticulous storage. It is advisable to enjoy it within 2-3 days of preparation, as prolonged storage may result in a gradual loss of its initial freshness.

• Refrigerate: Safeguard your whipped cream’s quality by placing it in an airtight container or securely wrapping it with plastic wrap before refrigerating. The chilly environment of the refrigerator inhibits bacterial growth and extends its shelf life. To preserve its intended flavor, store it separately from strongly aromatic foods.
• Freezing Instructions: You can indeed freeze maple whipped cream, but be aware that its texture might alter upon thawing due to the alcohol content. Place it in a freezer-safe bag and store it in the coldest part of the freezer. When you’re ready to savor it, opt for refrigerator thawing instead of room temperature to preserve its texture.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: For a convenient way to prepare maple whipped cream ahead of time, begin by chilling both your mixing bowl and beaters. Whip together the cream, powdered sugar, bourbon, and vanilla until soft peaks emerge. Keep the mixture in an airtight container or piping bag in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours. Just before use, re-whip to ensure its ideal consistency.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Chill your ingredients. Make certain that both the heavy whipping cream and bourbon are thoroughly cold. Using cold ingredients creates superior whipping and yields a smoother, more desirable texture.
• Chill your equipment. Prep your mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) by placing them in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes before whipping the cream. Chilled utensils expedite the whipping process and enhance the cream’s ability to maintain its form.
• To fix the texture: If the whipped cream starts to lose its texture or firmness, you can re-whip it for a few seconds to bring it back to the desired consistency.
• Stiff Peaks: Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters or whisk, but be careful not to over-whip, which can lead to a grainy texture.
• Pairing: Maple whipped cream is a versatile topping. It pairs wonderfully with desserts like pancakes, waffles, French toast, pies, and cakes. It can also be a delightful addition to hot beverages like coffee, specifically a Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Hot Chocolate, or even as a dip for fresh fruit.
