How to Make Whipped Cream Without a Mixer or Whisk

Hi Bold Bakers. Whipped cream can be a bit of a mystery, I get a lot of questions on how to do it. But I’m gonna show you how to do it if you don’t have a mixer or don’t have a hand whisk. So here I have a mason jar, it’s been chilled nice and cold in the fridge for around half an hour. Here I have some heavy whipping cream. You want a cream that has a high fat content, somewhere around 35%. Cuz that will whip up the best. Then just pour it into your jar. You can probably see where I’m going with this. Screw on your lid. And then go for it. Just start shaking up and down as much as you can. You wanna make sure that your cream is cold and your jar is cold because that will make sure it whips up. This is gonna take a few minutes. When you think about Thanksgiving or your thinking about times where you don’t have a mixer available or there’s no space on the counter for one, this is a fantastic way to make homemade whipped cream. For my whipped cream I like to do just cream, but if you want you can flavor it, add in a little sugar a little bit of vanilla extract. Put whatever you like into your cream. But I like it just plain. Ok I can feel it getting thicker, we’ve probably been going for over a minute now. One of the great things about this as well is that you get perfectly whipped cream. You know that lovely, soft, billowy whipped cream? That’s what you get from this, you’re not going to want to overwhip it, it’s gonna be gorgeous.
