Revolutionize Your Desserts with Long-Lasting Whipped Cream

Are you tired of whipped cream that turns into a sad, runny mess after just a few hours? Do you want to elevate your desserts with a topping that stays fluffy and fresh for days? Look no further! Our game-changing recipe for make-ahead whipped cream is about to become your new best friend.

The Secret to Stability

The key to this magic lies in cooking a portion of the cream with cornstarch to create a paste. This clever trick stabilizes the whipped cream, allowing it to hold its shape and texture for up to 3 days in the fridge or several hours at room temperature.

Endless Possibilities

Imagine being able to top your favorite pies, cakes, and shortcakes with a dollop of whipped cream that stays perky and proud. Our recipe makes enough to frost a single 8-inch layer cake, and it’s incredibly easy to scale up or down as needed.

Get Started with These Simple Ingredients

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 cups cold heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

A Step-by-Step Guide to Success

1. Combine Sugar and Cornstarch: Place the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan and whisk to combine.
2. Add Cream and Heat: Pour in 3/4 cup of the cream, then place the pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, smoothing out any lumps.
3. Cool and Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and let cool completely – about 45 minutes.
4. Chill the Remaining Cream: Place the remaining 2 1/4 cups cream in the bowl of a stand mixer and refrigerate until ready to use.
5. Whip and Combine: Fit the chilled bowl of cream onto the stand mixer, then whisk on medium speed until tracks begin to show in the cream. Slowly add the cooled cornstarch mixture and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
