This whipped cream begins and ends with whipping cream. Grab a whisk and get after it.
Top Tip: whipping cream turns into whipped cream MUCH faster if your bowl is frozen (or super cold) when you start whipping it.
Roll up your sleeves, or grab your hand mixer. Pour heavy whipping cream into frozen bowl and let the whisking/beating begin!
When it gets soupy, add in your extract.
Keep whisking.
When the color changes from white to an… well, to an off white, add in your maple syrup!
Keep whisking.
When you get stiff peaks, you’ve arrived. You just made homemade whipped cream- better than any store bought or canned stuff, way less ingredients, and it was simple!
Go you.
