Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Equipment
- Whipped cream dispenser
- N2O cream charger
Instructions
- Preparation: Before you start, ensure that your whipped cream dispenser parts are clean and your heavy cream is cold. This helps the cream whip up faster and increases its volume.
- Filling the Dispenser: Pour the heavy cream into the dispenser. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using. Secure the lid tightly.
- Charging the Dispenser: Insert a N2O cream charger into the charger holder and screw onto the dispenser until the gas is released. Shake the dispenser a few times to mix the ingredients well.
- Dispensing the Cream: Hold the dispenser vertically with the nozzle pointing downwards. Press the lever gently to dispense the whipped cream onto your favorite desserts or beverages.
- Serve and Enjoy: Use immediately for the best taste and texture. If you have leftovers, store the dispenser in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a little shake before using it again to refresh its consistency.
Tips and Variations
- For a dairy-free version, you can use coconut cream. Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight, scoop out the solid part, and use it in place of the heavy cream.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an added layer of flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter whipped cream, you can adjust the amount of maple syrup to your liking.
