Years ago, I decided to try making my own whipped cream as opposed to buying store bought, and from then on, I was hooked. I couldn’t believe just how simple it was to make and how delicious the final result was. I love adding homemade whipped cream into desserts like Snicker apple salad and as a sweet addition to homemade hot chocolate or a special coffee drink.
