So I have a friend who was nice enough to take me to the airport so as a thank you I asked her husband what her favorite food was so I could make it as a thank you surprise. Turns out she loves anything pumpkin and cream puffs. I got lucky and found a really good pumpkin cream puff recipe but the whipped cream it makes is amazingly versatile.
So here's the original recipe for the whipped cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, or to taste
- 1/2 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
mix the cream and sugar together, once it starts to thicken add the additional ingredients and continue to mix until it becomes whipped cream. Be very careful not to add the remaining ingredients after it's already the consistency of whipped cream because when you begin to mix the cream will separate and you'll be on your way to butter. I like using half a can because it gives you the opportunity to try again if you mess up the first batch (guilty!).
Amazing things you can do with this whipped cream:
- Put it in steamed milk with a little vanilla and some additional sugar to taste to make a pumpkin flavored steamer
- Add it to vanilla ice cream with a cream cheese glaze to get a seasonal sundae
- put it in egg bread and make cream puffs
- Use it as a topper for pancakes. I used this instead of syrup on vanilla and cinnamon pancakes and it got two thumbs up in my house.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
