Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream 36-40% fat
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup Grade A amber or dark recommended
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch fine sea salt optional

Equipment

  • Metal bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Place a metal bowl and the whisk/beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure a chilled environment for better whipping.
  2. Once chilled, add the cold heavy cream and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl. Begin whipping the cream at medium speed until it starts to thicken and soft peaks form.
  3. With the mixer running, slowly drizzle in the maple syrup, then add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract (if using). Continue whipping until you reach soft to medium peaks; the cream should be billowy and smooth, with the whisk tip gently folding over.
  4. If the cream becomes grainy from over-whipping, rescue it by adding 1-2 teaspoons of fresh cream and whisking briefly.
  5. For a longer-lasting whipped cream, you may stabilize it by adding a bit of powdered sugar or using bloomed gelatin. If using gelatin, drizzle it in while mixing on low, then increase the speed for an additional 10-20 seconds until the desired consistency is achieved.
  6. Use immediately for the softest texture, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. If the whipped cream loosens in the fridge, give it a quick whisk before serving.

Notes

This Cinnamon Maple Whipped Cream can be easily adapted by adding a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg for a different spice twist. For an extra luxurious texture, gently fold in a spoonful of mascarpone cheese before serving. The key to success is a well-chilled bowl and beaters, which help the cream whip faster and hold the perfect peak. Enjoy it immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, giving it a quick whisk if needed to refresh the texture.
