Ingredients
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
- 1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Chill Equipment: Place the mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge or freezer for about 10-15 minutes to ensure the heavy cream whips up quickly and maintains volume.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chilled heavy cream, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the cold mixing bowl.
- Whip the Mixture: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the ingredients for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Watch closely to avoid over-whipping; stop when the whipped cream holds its shape firmly.
- Serve or Store: Use the pumpkin spice whipped cream immediately as a topping or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2-4 days.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sweetness and spices.
- For best whipping results, ensure all equipment and ingredients are cold.
- Do not over-whip the cream to prevent it from turning grainy or separating.
- This whipped cream is perfect for topping pies, coffee drinks, pancakes, or oatmeal.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 4 days for optimal freshness.
