How Do You Make Rum-Infused Whipped Cream?

Have you ever made your own whipped cream? It’s so easy. The trick is to put the mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.

To make whipped cream simply add 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream to an extra cold mixing bowl.

Add in 1 Tbsp extra fine sugar and 1/2 tsp rum or vanilla extract.

Beat on high speed until light and fluffy.

It’s super important not to over-beat the whipping cream or it will turn to butter.

In less that five minutes you’ll have the most delicious homemade whipped cream you’ve ever tasted!

Yum!
