Create your own tasty maple whipped cream with only 3 ingredients! Treat your family to our sweet maple whipped topping this holiday season.
Kim and I love to create flavored whipped creams. In fact, we have quite a few recipes on the blog. If you haven't tried our bourbon whipped cream, amaretto whipped cream or our Irish cream whipped topping, then I encourage you to do so.
For today's post, we're sharing our maple whipped cream. It's super simple and perfect for the upcoming holiday season. There aren't a lot of tips that are needed for this recipe. My only recommendations are to use a high quality maple syrup and to avoid over whipping the ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, you only need 3 of them to make this maple flavored whipped topping.
How to make maple whipped cream from scratch:
First, measure out the maple syrup, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. After that, place the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Next, use a hand mixer with a whisk attachment to blend the ingredients.
Start on a low speed and then increase it to medium once the topping begins to thicken.
Last, continue whipping the cream until it thickens. Once it can hold stiff peaks, it's done!
That's it, your maple whipped cream is finished. Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂

If I’m using this as frosting, can I apply it the day before? Or will it melt?
Kimberly says
Hi Margaret! This is going to melt very quickly since it's flavored whipped cream. We didn't use a stabilizer. It will work as a frosting on cupcakes that can be stored in the fridge and enjoyed cold. However, I wouldn't try to transport them (not sure if that's what you were planning). It may work for a single layer cake, but again it should remain cold. It's great for shortcakes, French toast, pancakes, etc. Hope this helps! 🙂
