This Whipped Cream is great for serving desserts with whipped cream topping, especially if you prefer a lightly sweetened and flavored topping. It will hold up well for a few hours and is best kept very cold.
Quantities are easily adjusted proportionately to how much Whipped Cream you will need. The stabilizer element of this Whipped Cream is easy to make in advance and stores well in the freezer. I recommend making a double batch to be ready for your next Whipped Cream need.
