How to Make Flavored Whipped Cream
Never settle for plain whipped cream. It’s so easy to make very special whipped cream. Often it’s as simple as adding a flavor to the whipped cream. Sometimes you’ll want to sweeten your whipped cream with brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. We often add lemon zest to lemon whipped cream and orange zest to orange whipped cream. The zest adds a little flavor and the colored flecks are pretty.
Here are some sample recipes to get you started. You will find outstanding and hard-to-find flavors at our store.
