Make Ahead Whipped Cream Stabilized Recipes

MAKE-AHEAD WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Whip the cream, corn syrup and vanilla together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Transfer to a shallow baking dish or pie pan and spread out into an even layer. Wrap well with plastic wrap, label and date and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
• To thaw: Remove from the freezer and let thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before serving, or let sit at room temperature until thawed, about 1 hour.

MAKE-AHEAD WHIPPED CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Chill the beaters. Place mixing bowl and beaters (use the whisk attachment if available) into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill. Keep the cream in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
• Whip the heavy cream. Once the bowl and beaters are chilled, add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl and mix on low, gradually increasing the speed as it starts to thicken a little. Add powdered sugar and continue to blend on medium-high speed.
• Add the cream cheese. Once the cream is thick enough to turn on high without splashing out of the bowl, add cream cheese. Continue blending until you reach your desired thickness: soft peaks, medium peaks, or stiff peaks.
• Serve or store. You can keep the whipped cream in the refrigerator, freeze in a container, or portion out scoops of whipped cream onto a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, remove from the baking sheet and place into a ziplock bag to keep in the freezer for later use.

MAKE-AHEAD WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Combine sugar, salt, cream, and vanilla extract, if using, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. If using a vanilla bean, run the flat of the blade down each half to scrape out the seeds and add them to the cream (reserve the pod for another project). Mix on medium-low speed to dissolve the sugar, about a minute, then increase to medium-high and whip until cream is thick enough to hold firm peaks, about 3 minutes.
• Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate until needed, up to 8 hours.
• Make Ahead
• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week; before serving, briefly rewhip the cream to restore its light and silky texture.
• Mix it Up:
• Basil: This emerald-green variation has an herbal freshness that's perfect with strawberry shortcake. Grind the sugar with 2 ounces (2 cups loosely packed) fresh basil leaves in a food processor until the leaves disappear and the sugar looks wet, like pesto. Proceed as directed.
• Cherry Pit: A light cherry-almond flavor thats perfect with a slice of cherry pie. Combine heavy cream with 3 3/4 ounces (1/3 cup) cherry pits, cover, and steep overnight in the fridge. Strain and whip as directed.
• Cocoa: Combine the sugar with 1 ounce (1/3 cup) Dutch-process cocoa powder, such as Cacao Barry Extra Brute.
• Freeze-Dried Fruit: This variation is as colorful as it is tasty. Grind sugar with 1/3 ounce (1/3 cup) freeze-dried fruit such as bananas, blueberries, cherries, or cranberries in a food processor until powdery and fine, then whip as directed. For a thicker consistency, pulse in the food processor bowl until thick, just 90 seconds or so.
• Orange: Combine sugar with 1 tablespoon orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon orange flower water.
• Strawberry: Double strawberry shortcake, anyone? Add 2 ounces (1/4 cup) chilled strawberry syrup to the cream and proceed as directed.

MAKE AHEAD WHIPPED CREAM (STABILIZED)

Steps:

• You can whip by hand with a whisk or use your hand or stand mixer with whip/whisk accessory. Make sure your cream in nice a cold. You can also chill your bowl and beaters for extra fast whipping!
• Add cream and pudding mix to bowl and whip until lightly thickened. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until desired consistency. If making ahead, store covered in the refrigerator.

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put the bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer about 10 to 15 minutes before beginning.
• Put the unflavored gelatin in a microwave-safe bowl or 1-cup measuring cup. Add the cold water and let stand for 5 minutes, until very thick. Put the thickened gelatin in the microwave. Microwave the gelatin until it dissolves and becomes liquid, about 7 to 10 seconds. Check after 5 seconds, then check it every few seconds until it is completely liquified but not hot. You can also use a double boiler to liquefy the gelatin mixture.
• Pour the cream into the cold mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until it begins to thicken, then beat in the confectioners' sugar . Add the vanilla or other flavoring and continue beating until thick but not quite to the soft peak stage.
• While still beating constantly, pour the liquid gelatin into the cream in a thin stream (if the gelatin has thickened again, heat again for a few seconds, just until liquid). Continue beating until soft or stiff peaks form, as desired. Serve the stabilized whipped cream or store for up to two to three days in an airtight container in the fridge.

EASIER STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Mix on low speed until ingredients are combined.
• Mix on high speed until soft peaks form, scraping sides of bowl often.
• Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM ICING

Steps:

• Chill mixing bowl and beaters for at least 15 minutes before using. Place water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water and allow to soften 5 minutes.
• Dissolve gelatin by microwaving for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute. Remove from microwave and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes; gelatin must be liquid but not warm when added to cream.
• Remove bowl and beaters from refrigerator and pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together just until beater marks begin to show distinctly.
• Add gelatin mixture to cream, pouring in a steady stream while beating constantly. Beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.
