Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the 1 cup of heavy cream. Ensure that the bowl is clean and preferably chilled for better whipping results.
- Using a whisk or an electric mixer, start whipping the heavy cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the cream has thickened slightly, add the 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Continue to whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn the cream into butter.
- Once soft peaks have formed, stop mixing. The whipped cream should be light and fluffy, with a smooth texture.
- Transfer the pumpkin spice whipped cream to a serving bowl or an airtight container. If not using immediately, cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Enjoy your pumpkin spice whipped cream as a delightful topping for pies, cakes, or hot beverages!
Tips
- Chill Your Equipment: For the fluffiest results, refrigerate your mixing bowl and whisk or beater attachments for about 15 minutes before starting. Cold tools help the cream whip up faster and more effectively.
- Watch Your Peaks: The key is to stop whipping when soft peaks form. If you continue too long, you'll end up with butter instead of whipped cream. Look for peaks that gently curl when you lift the whisk.
- Temperature Matters: Use heavy cream straight from the refrigerator for the best volume and texture. Room temperature cream won't whip as nicely.
- Customize Your Spice: Feel free to adjust the pumpkin pie spice to your taste. Want more warmth? Add a little extra. Prefer it subtler? Reduce the amount slightly.
- Storage Hack: This whipped cream is best used immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a gentle stir before serving if it separates.
- Serving Suggestions: Beyond topping pies and coffees, try this whipped cream on pancakes, waffles, hot chocolate, or even as a dip for apple slices!
