Almond-Flavored Whipped Cream – recipe
Back in May, when I was visiting my in-laws, I “discovered” almond extract. It’s hard to believe that I’d never even smelled it until then.
Every time I take a whiff of the crystal clear extract, it reminds me of maraschino cherries and how I have not been able to eat any for over a year because I can’t eat sugar (anyone have a good recipe???)
So, the other day we bought tons of fruit, and I made some whipped cream to go with. I made the typical vanilla-flavored and then I decided to get adventurous and make a batch with almond extract.
I find it so much more delicious and refreshing than the same old boring stuff I’ve been eating for the past 20-something years.
You should give it a try…
Ingredients:
200 grams Whipping Cream (cold)
1-2 Tablespoons powdered Fructose (or sugar) (I use 1T since I don’t like it as sweet)
1 teaspoon Almond Extract
Directions:
In a tall container whip your cream with a whisk until soft peaks form.
Add all other ingredients and whisk until hard peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip at this stage or you will end up with butter!!
Makes about 2 Cups worth.
