1 cup cold heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon maple extract or vanilla extract
Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Pipe or dollop on your favorite desserts.
Notes
Use Cold Cream: For the best results, make sure your heavy whipping cream is very cold before you start whipping. Cold cream whips up faster and creates a more stable whipped cream.
Don’t Overwhip: Keep an eye on the whipped cream as you mix. Stop as soon as you see soft peaks to avoid overwhipping, which can turn the cream grainy.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the whipped cream before finishing and add more maple syrup or powdered sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
Chill the Bowl: For even better results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before whipping the cream.
Use a Stand Mixer: If you’re making a large batch, a stand mixer with a whisk attachment is perfect for whipping the cream to soft peaks.
Perfect Pairing: It is the perfect topping for fall desserts like pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and even a stack of warm pancakes.
