It’s so easy to make homemade whipped cream that there’s no need to buy the canned stuff again. This is great atop desserts (such as the pictured chocolate torte), fruit or waffles for a treat.
If you use whipped cream often, you might consider #3 on this stocking stuffer list.

January 20, 2016 at 5:59 pmI usually make my whipped cream in a blender – much quicker! BUT, it also can curdle very quickly so you have to keep a close eye on it.
I also usually add a dash of pure vanilla extract, rather than maple syrup. I find that since it’s usually being served with something sweet, it doesn’t need any added sugar.
