Elevate your desserts and beverages with the heavenly sweetness of homemade Maple Whipped Cream! This luscious recipe combines the velvety richness of cold heavy cream with the natural caramel-like flavor of pure maple syrup, enhanced by a hint of fragrant vanilla extract and an optional pinch of salt for balance. Ready in just 10 minutes, this simple yet indulgent whipped cream is perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, coffee drinks, or freshly baked pies. With soft, cloud-like peaks and real maple sweetness, this better-than-store-bought topping will quickly become your go-to for adding a touch of elegance and comfort to any dish.
Chill a mixing bowl and whisk (or whisk attachment if using an electric mixer) in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cold before use.
Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer, begin whipping the cream on medium speed until it starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually drizzle in the pure maple syrup while continuing to whip the cream.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using) for added flavor stability, then increase the whipping speed to medium-high.
Whip until soft peaks form, meaning the cream holds its shape but still has a slightly silky appearance. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream could turn into butter.
Taste the cream and adjust sweetness if necessary by blending in a small amount of additional maple syrup.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Gently re-whip with a whisk if needed before serving.
