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.

I make an icing with whipping cream, milk and pudding mix. Could I still add the jello as well
I just made your strawberry whipped cream recipe, and it’s amazing! So easy!! I made angel food cake and frosted it with the strawberry whipped cream and then garnished with whole fresh strawberries on top. Everyone went crazy over it. I also added a little strawberry oil for a little more of a strawberry flavor. Wonderful recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it. I’ll be making this one a lot!
Can I just use whipped cream from the box and not use any sugar?
I’m not familiar with whipped cream from a box..
Put one envelop of gelatin to 2 cup of heavy cream (35%) dissolve the gelatin in a little water (1/4 cup)and heat with 1/4 cup boiling water and mix to be sure there’s no clumps in. Put the mix gelatin and water in the cream and whisk till firm pics forms. Put in fridge a couple hour. That wipped cream stand ferme and still for days. If you don’t use right now, put in air tight contener. When your ready to pipped on cake or wathever, wipped again a minute only to make the cream fluffy again and VOILA!!!😉
Hi Linda. You said 1 envelope gelatin, is that unflavored gelatin powder? Or can you use the Jello flavored gelatin? And you also say 1/4 cup water, then 1/4 cup boiling water. Your wording there is confusing. Do you use a 1/2 cup total water or 1/4 cup total? Do you add the powder to cold water and then boil it? Please clarify, I would like to try this!
I just made this delicious frosting. I put it on my strawberry sheet cake. My husband and I licked my glass bowl clean. Yummo! Thank you for the recipe
Can you had alcohol to this to make it a boozy whipped cream. If so how much and when do I add it in. Thanks
Hi Andrea! Unfortunately adding more liquid, like alcohol, would prevent the cream from whipping properly.
Lol
I’m a little late but this is amazing thank you so much my family loves it so again thanks
Can you use this for frosting a cake? How long can you leave a cake out at room temperature if you can?
Thanks
Like all whipped cream frosting, it’s best added to the cake within 30 minutes of serving. Be sure the cake and whipped cream frosting is refrigerated until serving.
This was the first whipped cream stabilizing recipe I tried. It was for a fresh strawberry pie. It was delicious and the left over whipped cream held up in the refrigerator much longer than three days. If using ‘pink’ whipped cream is okay, this is the best was to go. I’ve tried several other stabilizers, since, for white whipping cream. The only other one that came close to being easy and having a great taste and was lasting was using white chocolate pudding for stabilizing whipped cream. I figure I can use all flavors of Jello using this recipe. I can’t wait to try orange on an orange pie.
I just made this topping and it is amazing I added fresh cut strawberries after letting them sit in fridge with sprinkled sugar to release the water and folded them in
