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:

This is super quick! What blender do you use for making whipped cream?
Its very easy to make whipped cream at home.
This was perfect, thank you! My first time making whipped cream. Used raw heavy cream, dash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt with the hand blender. x
can you use half n half by chance?
Nope, only heavy cream will whip up well.
do u have to use a blender\
You could also use a hand mixer or food processor.
While at the grocery, I bought Cool Whip (yuck) and decided to try heavy whipping cream as my failed batch was with light cream.
This time it worked with the immersion blender did in record time!
I don’t have a hand mixer any longer as got finger stuck in the beaters and decided not to buy another one!
I’ve found that I really don’t need a mixer for any reason other than making whipped cream so thanks for the tip!
I’m really disappointed that this didn’t work for me. Now I have to get in the car and go by that premade frozen whipped cream that I hate. My hand mixer is broken and all I have is an immersion mixer!
Amazing! This is the only way I will ever make whipped cream!!! Thanks a million Ali for this post! ;-)
what cream is advisable for a perfect whip?
Heavy cream.
