Perfect Whipped Cream
Knowing how to make the perfect Whipped Cream is an absolute must for any new baker.
The pie features a sweet and crunchy chocolate cookie crust, a creamy peppermint filling, and a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
The perfect topping can completely change your baked goods and seasonal dishes. Personally, I use my homemade whipped cream in everything from summer pies to Christmas toppings.
Try this with fresh berries for a great summer dessert.

I first learned how to make my own whipped cream at home thanks to my grandmother.
She has a famous blueberry cream pie – this pie is absolutely to die for!
And getting the cream just right completely changes the pie.
Making your own whipped cream can feel really daunting if you haven’t done it before.

But really, it’s even easier than you think.
Once you start making your own, you won’t buy that canned stuff ever again.
And the best part, you only need 3 ingredients.
Homemade Whipped Cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated or confectioners’ sugar
- 2 cups DairyPure Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or liqueur
Step 1: In chilled glass bowl, add sugar to whipping cream.
I like to put my bowl in the freezer beforehand.
Step 2: Using a whisk or hand mixer, incorporate sugar into heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken, leaving visible trails.
Continue to whip until soft peaks start to form.
