Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1.5 Tablespoons bourbon adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Chill your equipment: If time allows, place a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the cream whip faster.
  2. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
  3. Start whipping the cream on low speed. As it thickens, increase the speed to medium.
  4. When the cream begins to thicken, add the powdered sugar. Continue whipping until soft peaks form, approximately 1 minute.
  5. Add the bourbon. Begin with a small amount and taste as you add more. You can always add more, but you cannot remove it.
  6. Optionally, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  7. Whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks, about 1-3 minutes. Taste and adjust sweetness or bourbon if needed. Be careful not to overbeat.

Notes

This bourbon vanilla whipped cream is perfect for pies, cakes, or any dessert needing a touch of warmth and sweetness. It can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
