A simple whipped cream gently sweetened and finished with real vanilla. Soft peaks, smooth texture, and just enough sweetness to lift — never overwhelm.
Forage Baker's Notes
Chill the bowl and whisk for best volume.
Homestead Sweetener dissolves best when whipped gradually into cold cream.
For a thicker finish, whip slightly past soft peaks but stop before grainy.
Texture Guide
Soft peaks for spooning over pies and cobblers.
Medium peaks for layering cakes.
Firm peaks for piping onto cupcakes.
Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
2–3 tbsp Homestead Sweetener(Start with 2 tbsp for a lightly sweet finish.)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
In a chilled mixing bowl, add cold heavy cream.
Beat on medium speed until the cream begins to thicken slightly.
Gradually add Homestead Sweetener while continuing to whip.
Add vanilla and salt.
Increase speed to medium-high and whip until soft peaks form. For firmer peaks, continue briefly — watching carefully to avoid over-whipping.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Rewhip lightly if needed before serving.
