Strawberry is the third most popular flavor in America - behind vanilla and chocolate. Fresh strawberries are considered to be a great health food. Not everyone has had the joy of picking fresh strawberries off the vine - but those who do insist they will never eat strawberries they didn’t pick themselves! Now, for the first time ever, you can make your own strawberry whipped cream in the privacy of your own home! Even better: it only takes 3 minutes to make your own homemade strawberry whipped cream, and it will be 100% fresh and 100% without preservatives. And you can regulate the strength of the strawberry flavor and also the strength of the sugar. If you prefer your strawberry whipped cream to have a red color, simply add about 10 drops of red food dye.
There are only 3 ingredients used to make strawberry whipped cream: heavy whipping cream, strawberry extract flavoring (you can use McCormick’s or Watkins’), and confectioners (powdered) sugar. You will probably want to start by using one cup of heavy whipping cream, one teaspoon of either McCormick’s or Watkins’ strawberry extract flavoring, and one-third of a cup of confectioners (powered) sugar. That will make a very, very sweet strawberry whipped cream. Kids will love it because it is so heavy on the sugar - most professionals would use only 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar, whereas one third of a cup is equal to 5 tablespoons.
No one you know has ever had strawberry whipped cream. After you have made homemade strawberry whipped cream, you will be the envy of your neighborhood! Entertain all your guests with it. They will think you are a cooking guru, a dessert genius!
The second time you make it, you can increase the amount of strawberry extract flavoring that you use - to perhaps one and a half times the usual amount or even double the usual amount. Likewise, you can increase or decrease the amount of confectioners (powdered) sugar that you add.
Come up with some imaginative ways to serve your homemade strawberry whipped cream to your family and guests. Use it as a topping or use it as an independent treat. Add fresh strawberries and convert your dessert into a health food! And for a real treat, add a Pepperidge Farm crème filled Pirouette wafer or a Benton’s crème filled wafer roll (in flavors like: French Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Hazelnut). Add some red sprinkles for extra fun. Add some American flags or maybe a parasol for decorations.
Perhaps the single best way to enjoy your homemade strawberry whipped cream is to use it as a topping for a strawberry ice cream shortcake! Absolutely a great treat, and easy to make.
