How To Make Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- Grab a bowl and pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Starting at medium speed, begin whipping the cream with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. The cream should get frothy and bubbly at the beginning.
- Once it does, increase the speed to high and continue whipping for 3-4 minutes. The cream will thicken and stiff peaks should form.
- Once you see stiff peaks, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and beat on high until all the ingredients are incorporated. Don’t over mix.
Serve on your favorite pie, cake, ice cream, or eat with fruits, cookies, or as a topping for coffee and hot chocolate!
Tips and Advice
Storage – Cover the whipped cream tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the back of the fridge where the air is the coldest. It will stay fresh for about 2 days.
Materials – You’ll need a bowl, a hand or stand mixer and some measuring cups and spoons.
Recipe FAQs
The whipped cream is able to stay firm because of the fat content in the cream, but also the powdered sugar has a bit of starch in it which allows it to thicken up.
When you ‘over whip’ your whipped cream, you beat the air pockets out of the cream that cause it to firm up, so the whipped cream will break down.
If you use this cinnamon whipped cream to frost a cake, it won’t last long at room temperature, so frost it right before you serve the cake. If you keep it in the fridge it can last about 1-2 days.
