Freeze Whipped Cream For The Ultimate Coffee Topping

How to make frozen whipped cream

The concepts here are quite straightforward: Spoon small dollops of whipped cream onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for a few hours. Once frozen, you can easily transfer the dollops to a freezer bag for convenient storage. This technique works well with fresh whipped cream, canned whipped cream, and even Cool Whip, though it’s particularly useful for storing leftover whipped cream. Be sure to try this method when you have an abundance of leftovers from a holiday gathering and want to ensure your perfectly whipped cream doesn’t go to waste.

If you want to experiment with frozen whipped cream and have time for a more refined approach, prepare a batch of whipped cream and place it in a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe beautifully shaped swirls onto a sheet and freeze them. Your friends and guests will be impressed when you add these meringue-like dollops to their after-dinner coffees. You can also incorporate frozen whipped cream into desserts like ice cream or no-bake pies.

You don’t have to keep your frozen whipped cream plain, either. Enhance its flavor by mixing in cocoa powder, espresso powder, cinnamon, or vanilla before freezing. If you’re short on time and need your whipped cream to freeze faster, try the cold whisk technique. By chilling your whisk and bowl before adding and whipping your ingredients, you can kickstart the cooling process while you prepare.
