The Whipped Cream Secret

When it comes to the holidays, there is no better dessert topping than real whipped cream.  But when I make something, I want it to be fuss-free.  And usually, with whipped cream, it will separate after a short time.  One year by chance, I discovered that by adding honey to whipped cream, it becomes stabilized and won't separate.  Here's the trick:  Add one teaspoon of honey for each cup of whipping cream.  Whip and sweeten and you normally would (I use powdered sugar) and your whipped cream won't separate.

Thank you for the tip...now just to remember it the next time I make whipped cream. I am sure once that I make it the first time that way I will remember. I am thinking about taping a note inside my cupboard door so that I see it when I open up to get the powder sugar.

Cool tip! Thanks! I just found a recipe for peppermint whipped cream recently, so I'll give it a try when I try the recipe out. Can't wait to put a dollop in some hot cocoa!

I taught my daughter how to make homemade whip cream just a couple of months ago. We will have to try adding the honey. I also have a recipe box but it is an accordian file box with a handle on the top. I had clipped wonderful recipes for years and about 8 years ago sorted and slipped them all into the new box. My teens love to get Mama's box down and go thru the catagories looking for just the right thing to make.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I love this! I knew there were ways to stabilize whipped cream but this one sounds easiest. Just wondering....can you taste the honey at all?

[Sharon]
