Chantilly Cream Whipper Recipe

If you’ve never heard of chantilly cream, you’re in for a treat. It’s a sweetened whipped cream that’s perfect for topping off desserts or adding to your favorite coffee. The best part? You can make it at home with just a few ingredients, and here’s how you can go about it.

How to Make Chantilly Cream

Here’s what you need for your chantilly cream recipe.

Equipment Needed

To make homemade Chantilly cream, you’ll need just a few basic kitchen tools:

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer – You’ll need an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream into soft peaks. We recommend you use one of our premium cream chargers to help you achieve the perfect consistency for your Chantilly cream. 
  • Mixing bowl – Choose a medium mixing bowl so there’s enough room for the cream to whip up and expand in volume. 
  • Whisk attachment – Use the whisk attachment for your stand mixer or the beaters for a hand mixer. These will help incorporate air into the cream to make it light and fluffy.
  • Piping bag (optional) – A piping bag allows you to pipe the whipped cream onto desserts or coffee drinks for a decorative touch.
  • Piping tips (optional) – For piping, you can also use piping tips to create different shapes and textures.

Ingredients

To make a delicious homemade Chantilly cream, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:

  • Heavy whipping cream – Use cold, thickened cream with about 35-40% milk fat content. The higher fat content allows the cream to whip up into stiff peaks. 
  • Granulated sugar – Regular granulated white sugar adds sweetness to the whipped cream. You can also use superfine or powdered sugar. 
  • Vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract enhances the cream’s flavor with a lovely vanilla note. Use pure extract, not artificial vanilla.


That’s it. Just heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla make a tasty Chantilly cream. The ratios of the ingredients can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences for sweetness and flavoring.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Getting the perfect chantilly cream takes just a few easy steps:

  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before starting. This helps the cream whip up faster.
  • Pour cold, heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Make sure it’s fresh and hasn’t been sitting out too long.
  • Using your chilled beaters or a hand mixer, start whipping the cream on medium-high speed. Beat until soft peaks start to form. 
  • Add in the sugar and vanilla extract. Start beating again until you reach stiff peaks, but be careful not to overbeat.
  • Serve immediately, or store covered in the fridge.

Storage

If you can, enjoy the whipped cream soon after making it. Freshly whipped chantilly cream has the lightest, fluffiest texture and the freshest flavor. The sooner you can eat it, the better. But if you need to store it, refrigerate the cream in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days. It may start to deflate a bit, but it will still taste good.  Do not freeze, as this can cause it to separate. Plus, when thawed, this can make it grainy, which can alter its texture and consistency. 

Wrap Up

Whipping your own fresh chantilly cream is such a treat.  As we covered, all you need are some basic ingredients – heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. With just a few tools like a stand mixer, whisk, or hand mixer, you can make this light and fluffy whipped cream in minutes. The step-by-step instructions break down how to whip the cream to soft peaks that are perfect for topping cakes, pies, waffles, and more. Feel free to play around with additional flavors like cocoa powder or citrus zest too.
