Key Ingredients
- Heavy whipping cream: Essential for a thick, rich whipped cream.
- Powdered sugar: Contains a small amount of cornstarch that helps the whipped cream maintain its fluff and acts as the foundation of sweetness.
- Vanilla extract: Builds upon the powdered sugars sweetness with a caramelly warmth.
- Pumpkin pie spice: The star of the show! This is the blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice that characterizes Fall flavors.
How To Make Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Use the whisk attachment to mix on low speed. Once the ingredients are combined, increase the speed to medium-high, and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes).
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Tips and Variations
- For a vegan option, substitute heavy whipping cream for full-fat coconut cream! There are also a few vegan heavy whipping cream alternatives available in stores for those who don’t like the taste of coconut.
- The colder the better! Use heavy whipping cream straight from the fridge and chill your mixing bowl and attachment beforehand.
- Do not over-whip: too much mixing will give the whipped cream a grainy texture.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerator: Fresh is best! But if you must, you can store Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream in an airtight container in the back of the fridge (the most consistently cold spot) for 3 to 4 days.
