Ingredients you need
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Heavy cream is a high-fat liquid dairy. It has the right composition to whip into airy, fluffy, peaks. Substitute this ingredient for non-dairy heavy cream or lactose-free heavy cream as needed.
- Powdered Sugar: This ingredient helps to stabilize the whipped cream so it should hold up to mild warm temperatures. Be sure to sift the powdered sugar so it does not clump.
- Espresso: Espresso has a potent and delicious coffee flavor that shines in this treat! Freshly brewed espresso has the best flavor, so use cooled, fresh espresso whenever possible.
How To Make Espresso Whipped Cream From Scratch
- Step One: Combine all ingredients and then whip to stiff peaks.
- Step Two: Pipe or spoon the whipped cream on top of coffee, cake, or whatever you want!

Storage
Transfer any leftover whip to an airtight storage container. Refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Use it chilled, straight out of the refrigerator.
Products
- Electric Hand Mixer: Whipping cream by hand is a labor-intensive job that takes a lot of muscles. Save yourself the sweat by using an electric mixer. A hand mixer outfitted with the beater attachments will whip the cream quickly and efficiently. If you do not have a mixer, try using a food processor instead.
- High-Walled Mixing Bowl: A mixing bowl with high walls is essential for making whipped cream. When the mixer hits the cream, splatters are inevitable, so using a bowl with nice high walls will keep your kitchen tidy! Be sure to chill your bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for the best results.
