By Vitia

Do you want a natural and simple alternative to prepare whipped cream at home? Follow this quick recipe that, in just 10 minutes, will allow you to obtain a fluffy cream, without added sugar and with an authentic flavor.

Ingredients needed:

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional, for an aromatic touch)

Step by step to prepare homemade whipped cream

1. Activate the gelatin

  • In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of gelatin with 2 teaspoons of cold water.
  • Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until the gelatin absorbs the water and acquires a thick texture.

2. Heat the milk

  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat.
  • Watch that it does not boil; It should be warm, not hot. Once ready, remove from heat.

3. Combine gelatin with milk

  • Add the hydrated gelatin to the warm milk and stir well until completely dissolved.

4. Let the mixture cool

  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool slightly and take on a slightly thick consistency.

5. Blend until you achieve the perfect texture

  • Use an electric mixer on high speed and beat the mixture for 5-7 minutes until it acquires a creamy and consistent texture, similar to whipped cream.

6. Add scent (optional)

  • If desired, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence while whisking to give it a special touch of flavor.

Practical tips for a perfect result

  • Pre-cooling: Place the bowl and mixer sticks in the refrigerator a few minutes before you start. This helps the cream stay firmer and fluffier.
  • Control the texture: Beat just until desired consistency. If you overdo it, the cream may become too firm.
  • Storage: Store leftover cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 2-3 days.

Uses of your homemade whipped cream

  • Dessert decoration: Use it to decorate cakes, tarts or cupcakes.
  • Fruit accompaniment: As a topping for fruit salads or desserts of strawberries, peaches and more.
  • Hot drinks: Ideal for coffee, hot chocolate or cappuccinos.

With this easy and inexpensive recipe, you can enjoy a smooth and delicious homemade whipped cream. With no preservatives or added sugar, it is perfect for adding a special touch to your culinary creations. Dare to try it and surprise with its flavor!
