Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk or electric mixer attachments in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before starting. Cold equipment helps whipped cream form more quickly and maintain better structure.
- Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl, ensuring the cream is also cold from the refrigerator for optimal whipping results.
- Add erythritol to the heavy cream, which will provide sweetness without adding carbohydrates.
- Incorporate pumpkin puree into the cream mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
- Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over the cream, which will infuse warm, autumnal flavors into the whipped cream.
- Add vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile of the whipped cream.
- Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, begin whipping the cream on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high speed.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, which typically takes 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip, which can cause the cream to become grainy or turn to butter.
- Once peaks are stable and hold their shape, stop mixing and transfer to a serving bowl or piping bag.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Best enjoyed chilled as a topping for low-carb desserts or as a standalone treat.
Tips
- Temperature is key: Always use ice-cold cream and chilled equipment to ensure the fluffiest, most stable whipped cream possible.
- Whip with precision: Start slow and gradually increase mixer speed to prevent splattering and achieve the perfect texture.
- Watch for peak perfection: Stop whipping as soon as stiff peaks form to avoid turning your cream into butter.
- Customize your sweetness: Adjust erythritol to taste, knowing that different brands might have slightly different sweetness levels.
- Make ahead tip: This whipped cream can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
- Storage hack: If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate to maintain its light, airy texture.
- Bonus serving suggestion: Use as a topping for low-carb pies, keto desserts, or enjoy it as a standalone treat for a quick, satisfying indulgence!
