Here's an easy way to upgrade your favorite holiday desserts to a new level with this Bourbon Whipped Cream. This alcohol-infused recipe adds a delightful twist to classic whipped cream, perfect for adding a boozy spin to any dessert.
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 sugar, vanilla extract and bourbon
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. 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.
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.
Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
