Bourbon Whipped Cream Recipe

• 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream, chilled
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) bourbon
• ½ teaspoon (2 g) sugar
• ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Pour the chilled heavy cream, bourbon, sugar, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl.
2. Using an electric mixer (or a whisk if you’re feeling strong!), beat the ingredients together on medium-high speed.
3. Continue beating until the cream reaches soft peaks — it should be fluffy and hold its shape but still look slightly billowy and soft.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired (a tiny bit more sugar or bourbon goes a long way).
5. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 hour.

Pro Tip: For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before starting.Delicious Ways to Serve It

Make It Your Own
