Here are some tips and ideas to make the most of vodka-infused whipped cream.
How to Make Vodka-Infused Whipped Cream
You can make your own vodka whipped cream at home with just a few ingredients:
-
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1-2 ounces vodka (flavored vodka works great too, like vanilla or caramel)
-
Instructions:
- Chill a mixing bowl and whisk or hand mixer attachments in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl, then start whipping at medium speed.
- Gradually add powdered sugar until the cream thickens.
- Add vodka, whipping until the cream forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Fun Ways to Use Vodka Whipped Cream
1. Boozy Hot Chocolate
- Top a mug of hot chocolate with a generous dollop of vodka-infused whipped cream for an adult twist on a classic treat.
2. Spiked Coffee
- Add it to your coffee or espresso for a boozy take on whipped cream-topped drinks.
3. Cocktail Topping
- Use it to top cocktails like espresso martinis, mudslides, or White Russians.
4. Dessert Topping
- Spoon it over brownies, pies, cheesecakes, or even fresh fruit for a boozy, creamy layer.
5. Shots and Shooters
- Add a dollop to any shot or shooter, like a chocolate or caramel-flavored vodka shot, for a dessert-like finish.
Tips for Success
- Use very cold cream and equipment for the best texture.
- Start with a smaller amount of vodka, as too much can prevent the cream from thickening.
- Experiment with flavored vodkas for variety: vanilla, chocolate, and even citrus vodkas pair well with whipped cream.
