Homemade whipped cream with a rich almond flavor is a subtle and easy way to change up your basic vanilla whipped cream. I recently paired it with my Sour Cherry Hand Pies and the almond flavor complemented the cherry filling perfectly.
Almond Whipped Cream

Serves: 8+
Ingredients
- ½ pint of heavy whipping cream
- ½ - 1 tsp almond extract, to taste
- ½ Tbsp sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients together and beat on high using a hand-held mixer or a KitchenAid mixer with the whisk attachment. It will take several minutes for the liquid cream to transform into fluffy peaks.
- If you beat the whipping cream until it is too stiff you can add more cream and continue beating. This is also a good trick if you are using leftovers the next day. Leftover whipped cream often starts to separate and lose its form. Simply add more cream (if need be) and whip it again.
