Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons root beer extract
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk or electric mixer beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before starting. Cold equipment helps create better whipped cream.
- Pour the heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl, ensuring the cream is very cold from the refrigerator for optimal volume and texture.
- Add powdered sugar gradually to the cream, which will help stabilize the whipped cream and provide sweetness.
- Pour the root beer extract into the cream mixture, distributing it evenly to ensure consistent flavor throughout the whipped cream.
- Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, begin whipping the cream at medium-high speed, starting slowly and gradually increasing speed.
- Continue whipping until soft to medium peaks form, where the cream holds its shape but still looks smooth and glossy.
- Stop whipping immediately once peaks form to prevent the cream from becoming grainy or turning into butter.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a serving bowl or piping bag, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Best served immediately or within 2-3 hours of preparation for optimal texture and flavor.
Tips
- • Temperature is everything! Always start with ice-cold heavy cream and chilled equipment to achieve the perfect whipped texture. • Add powdered sugar gradually to ensure smooth incorporation and prevent graininess. • Watch your whipping technique carefully - stop mixing the moment soft to medium peaks form to avoid over-beating. • For the most intense root beer flavor, use a high-quality root beer extract. • Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 hours to maintain the ideal texture and taste. • Pro tip: This whipped cream is perfect for topping sundaes, pies, hot chocolate, or even as a unique frosting for cupcakes! • If you want a firmer consistency, you can add a small amount of gelatin to help stabilize the whipped cream.
