How to Make Whipped Cream
- Chill a metal mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for 15 minutes.
- Put all 3 ingredients in the chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form / it’s scoopable with a spoon and holds its shape.
Tips for Making Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting
Chilling the bowl before making homemade whipped cream is crucial for a few reasons:
- Faster Whipping: A chilled bowl helps maintain a lower temperature while whipping the cream. This allows the fat in the cream to firm up quicker, resulting in faster and more efficient whipping.
- Improved Stability: Cold temperatures help keep the fat molecules in the cream stable. This stability ensures a firmer whipped cream that holds its shape better and doesn’t deflate as quickly.
- Consistency and Volume: Chilling the bowl aids in achieving the desired consistency and volume of whipped cream. It helps in creating peaks that are stiff and long-lasting.
- Prevents Melting: If the bowl is warm, it can cause the cream to warm up too quickly, leading to difficulties in achieving the desired whipped consistency. Chilling the bowl prevents premature melting of the cream.
Overall, a chilled bowl sets the stage for successful whipped cream by providing the ideal conditions for achieving the perfect texture and stability.
Can Pink Whipped Cream be made in advance?
Whipped cream is best made just before serving due to its tendency to lose airiness and become denser over time.
Freshly whipped cream has a superior texture and consistency compared to making it in advance. Without stabilizers, it gradually deflates and may lose its fluffy appeal. While stabilizers can help maintain its texture, the taste and appearance might not match that of freshly whipped cream.
Making it just before serving ensures the best taste, texture, and visual appeal.

How to Store Jello Whipped Cream
To store Jello whipped cream, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. Ensure the container has a tight seal to prevent air from affecting its texture.
Properly stored, Jello whipped cream will keep well in the refrigerator for about 24 to 48 hours. Be mindful that over time, the whipped cream might lose some of its airiness and may require a brief re-whipping before serving to restore its fluffy texture. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to maintain its quality.

Thank you so much for your recipe! I’m new to the kitchen so every dish is a new adventure. I can’t wait to prepare this strawberry whipped cream, it looks delicious!
Can anyone tell me the difference between Heavy cream and whipping cream?
Hi Lori!
Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are essentially the same thing: cream that contains 36 percent or more milk fat. Whipping cream is a bit lighter, with only 30 percent milk fat.
There was a Dunkin Donuts ad halfway down the page, and it got me thinking, how about an espresso cream?!? Ever done that?? Yum!
YUMMM!!! I love that idea! Writing it down!
Do you have to keep the cake in the fridge after frosting with this whipped cream?
I would yes! Whipped cream likes to be kept cold!
I just made strawberry ???? whipped cream! Is it weird to just eat it like a mousse, instead of like a frosting? It’s delicious.
I was thinking of making it with dream whip.
Hi there, thank you so much for making this recipe!! I was thinking about making a Persian love cake for my crush on V day, and am thinking about topping the cake with your whipped cream-however, is there any vegetarian substitute that I could take for the Jello powder?? Thank you so so much and have a lovely day!!<3
I found a vegan jello on amazon that I used for a friends bridal shower cupcakes they turned out delicious!
Yay! So glad to hear that!
Hi Beth,
I have been trying to find a recipe like this, because Duncan Hines’ Flavored Mix Frosting is not available. Thank you very much!
Will this whipped cream hold its shape if used to “frost” cupcakes, or will it melt like traditional whipped cream? Since jello is used in the recipe, I thought maybe the gelatin would help keep it from melting.
It’s definitely pipe-able, but it won’t hold it’s shape as long as buttercream will. Look into making whipped cream stable and try using those techniques on this recipe!
I come back to this recepie often because I love whipped cream in all its forms
Woohooo!!
Is 4 TBL the same as one box of jello?
4 tbsp is equal to 2 oz!
