Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream , also called heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp sugar of choice , can be sugar free substitute*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract , optional for more flavor
- 1 tsp matcha powder
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 the vanilla extract and sugar.
- Add the matcha powder. Without turning on the machine, use the beaters to quickly swirl the matcha powder into the liquid so that most of the matcha powder is wet. This prevents the powder from flying everywhere and making a mess!
- Begin whipping the cream at low speed, gradually increasing to high as it thickens.
- Do a quick taste test and adjust the sweetness by adding 1-2 Tbsp more sugar if needed.
- 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.
- Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
- Use the freshly whipped cream to top your favorite desserts, such as cakes, pies, fruits and more! In the pic: matcha tiramisu
- 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
*For a lower carb option, replace sugar with a sugar-free substitute such as granulated monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. If using stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions
