Last week I posted on Instagram my favorite way of making homemade whipped cream with a hand/immersion blender. And I immediately received a bunch of emails and comments from people who had never tried it, and had questions about what a hand blender actually does. So since we happen to be giving away a KitchenAid hand blender this week, thought it might be a fun time to post a quick tutorial!
This method is definitely not rocket science. But it is super easy, quick, and requires much less work doing dishes than if you were using a large stand mixer or food processor! And since hand blenders are so small and portable, this is also a great option if you are taking a dessert to a party and want to make some homemade whipped cream topping there on the spot. (Or, if you get asked to make some homemade whipped cream for a kittens photo shoot on location at work, I learned from experience this also randomly works well for that!) Oh the possibilities. :)
Well however you like to use your homemade whipped cream, here is my quick how-to for how to make it:

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. amazing blog.
loved your stir fried rice! It was a big hit! Trying the slaw dressing next!

Hi Arham! By hand blender, do you mean mixer? If so, you need a whisk attachment as the beaters won’t work. We hope this helps!
The individual frames of this video seem frozen and there’s no sound. Is something wrong with your video player?
Hi there! We’re a little confused as there is no video for this.
is it necessary to add cream of tatar or alternative to heavy cream ?
It’s not necessary, it just helps keep the peaks stiff and helps the whipped cream hold its shape for awhile after making it. The only alternative to heavy cream would be coconut milk (full fat, from the can). We hope this helps!
Yum! Turns out to be very easy. This is the best way to try out my new hand blender. Wonderful:D
Awesome — we hope you enjoy! :)
how long does it stay whipped. will it separate if left for a while?
We find that if you keep it longer than a day, you might need to re-whip it. We hope this helps!
Do i need to use whisk attachment of blender ?
Hi Prachi, you can but you don’t have to! :)
Used my new HSN immersion blender(one with stick on top) and it worked awesome with skim milk and whip attachment, was more frothy than hard though. Used 2% milk and did nothing but froth, didn’t set as a cream. Gonna try this later, need to buy heavy cream!
Awesome, thanks for sharing, Marcie! We’re surprised it worked with the skim milk — that’s very cool!
