Homemade Whipped Cream (3)

During holidays and special occasions, I rarely remember squirting a fat dollop of Reddi-Whip onto my mother’s delicious strawberry shortcakes and fruit pies. Why commit store-bought injustice against your own prized pie? Come on, now. You already know that freshly whipped cream tastes WORLDS better, so get out your beaters and get at it!

Fresh Mango Whipped Cream

Making your own whipped cream involves three ingredients – heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Those three things and ten minutes is all you need to make a big difference in your next dessert!
