Have you ever found yourself wondering how to make strawberry whipped cream worthy of the hype?
If you are anything like me you have likely been let down by the canned strawberry whipped cream, Whether it be too much sugar, it deflates in a matter of minutes or it tastes fake. I wanted something fresher – the kind that would give you the bite of an angel food cake topped with strawberries and whipped cream tasting like summer.
I began experimenting in my kitchen using whipped cream chargers. Believe me when I tell you that this recipe will hit all the right spots… light and airy, natural flavours, and fabulous as a strawberry whipped cream frosting, icing, or dessert topping.
Ingredients You will Require
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (thoroughly chilled)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (modify based on your preferences)
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, puréed
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
👉 Pro tip: fresh strawberries will provide you with that beautiful pink color without using food dye.
Instructions: How to Prepare Strawberry Whipped Cream
1. Purée The Strawberries
Blend or mash the strawberries until smooth. If you prefer not to have the seeds, strain them out.
2. Chill Everything
The colder your cream and bowl are, the fluffier your whipped cream will be. I even place my whisk in the freezer for about 10 minutes prior to whipping.
3. Whip it with CreamJet
Pour the cream, sugar, and vanilla into your dispenser. Add the strawberry purée, connect to a whipped cream charger, and shake. Just like that its seconds away from creamy, airy and pink perfection that looks like it came straight from a bakery.
4. Taste & Adjust
Too sweet? Add a splash of lemon juice. Not sweet enough? A spoon of powdered sugar will take care of it.
Using CreamJet chargers for whipped cream is a dream!
I used to make whipped cream with a hand mixer. It was messy, slow, and my whipped cream never held its shape too long. But with the switch to CreamJet, it’s been a game changer:
- Fresher taste – the chargers can keep everything airy without over-beating.
- Perfect texture – it works whether you are making frosting for cakes, cupcakes, or easy desserts.
- Easy to use – fast delivery from our shipping hub in Europe every time means you never have to unfairly wait.
- Better value – you can get through multiple batches with one cylinder (like really, several hundreds of desserts).
If you have ever googled “strawberry whipped cream near me,” just look past the ones in the supermarket spray cans. Fresh just tastes better!!! It also works great for a dessert cart too!!! 🙂
Where to Use Strawberry Whipped Cream
Here are a few of my favourite strawberries whipped cream uses:
- For cakes – particularly easpecially on a light sponge cake or Strawberry whipped cream cake.
- Strawberries and whipped cream – a classic combination!
- Dessert cups – layer biscuit (cookies) with strawberries – simple no bake treat!
- Cheese dip – fold into cream cheese for a slightly tangy sweet and fluffy dip.
If the reading and baking is for the fun of it, I think you’d make a great match for StrawBerry whipped Cream & angel food cake (BBC Food: Angel food cake with lemon curd).
