Ingredients Used to Make Brown Sugar Whipped Cream
**I've linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store or other online retailers. They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂
- Heavy Cream - this is the main ingredient of whipped cream. When heavy cream is aerated (air is incorporated) it becomes a light and fluffy consistency that can be a delightful addition to cakes and desserts. For best results, choose heavy cream with a high fat content, ideally around 36-40%. Higher fat content contributes to a richer and creamier texture.
- Dark Brown Sugar - for the best flavor, use Dark Brown Sugar. Regular brown and light brown sugar also work, but have less flavor. For a lower carb option, try using sugar-free brown sugar like this Brown Monk Fruit Sweetener.
- Pure Vanilla Extract - this ingredient adds a touch of warm and aromatic flavors to your whipped cream.
- Molasses - just 1 tsp of molasses is added for color. If you don't like the flavor of molasses, you can leave it out but the whipped cream will be a lighter color.
Equipment
- Hand mixer or stand mixer - these tools will help you whip the cream efficiently. A hand mixer is easier for smaller batches (for whipping 2 cups of heavy cream or less), while a stand mixer is great for bigger ones.
- Piping Bag - If you plan to decorate desserts or pastries with your whipped cream, a piping bag will help you do exactly that. It provides precision and control when dispensing the cream onto your treats, allowing for beautiful and decorative designs. I used a disposable piping bag like this one.
- Piping Tip of choice - I used this Ateco 849 Closed Star Piping Tip.
DIY Brown Sugar Whipped Cream (Chantilly Cream) Recipe
Add a sweet, caramel note to your treats with our DIY Brown Sugar Whipped Cream. This Chantilly cream is an easy-to-make delicacy that complements everything from pies to coffee.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream , also called heavy whipping cream
- 2 to 3 Tbsp Dark Brown Sugar , or other dark sugar of choice*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp molasses , optional for darker colored whipped cream
Instructions
- For best results, chill mixing bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes before whipping. Keep heavy cream cold in the fridge until then.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl. If you're using a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. You can also use a hand mixer with beaters.
- Add 2 Tbsp brown sugar and vanilla extract.
- Optionally, add 1 tsp of molasses if you want a darker-colored whipped cream.
- Begin whipping the cream at low speed, gradually increasing to high as it thickens.
- Do a quick taste test and add more sugar if you want it sweeter
- Whip the cream until it thickens and reaches stiff peaks, or until the beater starts to leave tracks in the cream (see pics)Note: Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
- Use the freshly whipped cream to top your favorite desserts, such as cakes, pies, fruits, or hot beverages like coffee or hot chocolate.
- Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
- If you have leftover whipped cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 1-2 days. You may need to re-whip it for a few seconds to restore the desired consistency.
Notes
*Instead of Dark Brown Sugar, you can also use Date Sugar or Coconut Sugar. For a lower-carb option, replace brown sugar with a sugar-free brown sugar substitute such as granulated brown monk fruit sweetener or brown erythritol.
