Bourbon Whipped Cream Recipe

Bourbon whipped cream is a dairy-based topping made with heavy cream, bourbon, and sweeteners. Combine and beat the ingredients until soft peaks form. You can use bourbon whipped cream as a topping for many desserts and drinks, including ice cream, pumpkin pie, and coffee. A dollop of bourbon whipped cream can liven up a slice of apple pie or pecan pie, an ice cream sundae, or a cup of Irish coffee. Jump to recipe.

When making bourbon whipped cream, keep the following tips in mind:

1. 1. Add vanilla extract. To add sweetness and balance the bourbon flavor, add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract for every cup of heavy cream. You can also use sweeteners like powdered sugar or maple syrup.
2. 2. Chill the equipment. Chilling the mixing bowl, stand mixing bowl, or whisk can help the cream whip faster.
3. 3. Keep the whipped cream away from children. There is a small amount of alcohol in bourbon whipped cream. You can swap the bourbon with bourbon extract—some bourbon extract products do not contain alcohol.
4. 4. Stabilize the whipped cream. If you want to store your whipped cream for longer than a few hours, you need to stabilize it. To stabilize whipped cream, you can whisk in cornstarch, cream of tartar, crème fraîche, a sheet of gelatin, or milk powder.
5. 5. Store in the fridge. Bourbon whipped cream will store in the refrigerator for four hours. After that, the cream will start to deflate and become runny. (You can store stabilized whipped cream in the fridge for up to three days.)
