How to Make Raspberry Whipped Cream
There are no fancy ingredients or chef techniques here. Just whisk and devour!
Here are the steps:
- MASH the raspberries in a bowl with some of the cream. Then, strain the liquid into a cold mixing bowl. 2. WHIP the remaining cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on low until it thickens. Increase the speed to medium and whisk until stiff peaks form. 3. CHILL. Transfer the cream to a clean bowl, cover, and chill until ready to use.
Tips For the Best Raspberry Whipped Cream
While this recipe is as easy as 1-2-3, I do have a few tips to keep in mind before you begin:
Chill everything. Place the steel bowl and beaters into the freezer for 20-30 minutes, and be sure the fruit and cream are well chilled.
Strain for smoothness. Press the mashed fruit and cream through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula before whisking.
Adjust the sweetness. Taste the fruit and add more powdered sugar if needed.
Low to high. Start whipping at a low speed to avoid splatters, then increase to medium-high for fluffy peaks.
Fold for swirls. Gently fold the raspberries into the whipped cream at the end for a beautiful swirled effect.
Stabilize it. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin with 1 tablespoon of water. Heat until melted, cool, then whisk into the cream.
How to Store
This fruity whipped cream comes together in minutes. But if you want to make it ahead or have leftovers, you’ll need to know how to store it:
To Store: Transfer raspberry whipped cream to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. Give it a quick stir before using. To Freeze: Pipe or dollop raspberry whipped cream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, about 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator and whip gently before using.
Note : whipped cream may split after thawing.

Notes

Stabilize it. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin with 1 tablespoon of water. Heat until melted, cool, then whisk into the cream.
How many raspberries? If you have ripe, fresh berries, 1/2 cup should be enough. But if they’re not as flavorful or juicy, you might need closer to 1 cup.
