You can also serve this coffee whipped cream up with crackers, pretzels, cookies, and more. It’s perfect for spreading on cookies…you can even freeze it between cookies for a homemade coffee flavored ice cream sandwich style dessert.

This is a lightly sweet stabilized whipped cream that you can serve as a topping for drinks, icing on pies, cakes, breads, or cookies, and of course you can also just eat it with a spoon because it’s ridiculous delicious.

Kitchen Essentials For Making Delicious Dessert Recipes:


When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes (like coffee whipped cream) you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

For this particular recipe you will definitely want to have a good mixer on hand. A spatula and some whisks will come in handy with your mixing bowls.


I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are a must when doing cake mix recipes which can settle and become thin at lot easier than traditional cookie dough.


Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love no matter what recipes you are making.


I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my baked recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla
Instructions

Place the heavy cream and instant coffee in a large mixing bowl and whisk until the coffee grounds have mostly dissolved. This will take a minute or two.

Use immediately or store in a refrigerator, in a sealed container, for up to 5 days.
Tips
  • Be sure your heavy cream is nice and cold. This helps the thickening process quite a bit.If you feel like it’s never going to thicken, keep going, it will eventually thicken up.If you have different size beaters for your hand mixer, use the larger option. It takes longer with smaller beaters.Do not add the powdered sugar until the coffee has mostly dissolved or you’ll end up with coffee chunks that won’t dissolve.You can whisk this by hand, but I wouldn’t do that to yourself as it takes forever to do without a mixer.This recipe is stabilized, which means it’s nice and thick and will hold up even after being stored. If for whatever reason, you’re having trouble with it being stable, you can add a teaspoon of unflavored gelatin powder, which should do the trick. To make this keto, simply use a keto approved powdered sugar, which can be found at most grocery stores.
